"municeps" meaning in Latin

See municeps in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈmuː.nɪ.kɛps] [Classical-Latin], [ˈmuː.ni.t͡ʃeps] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: According to De Vaan, perhaps from earlier *mūnia-kap-s, itself from mūnia (“duties, functions”) + -ceps. Alternatively, De Vaan suggests that it emerged as a back-formation from mūnicipium. Other theories suggests that it may derive from *mūni-cap-s, itself from the underlying i-stem form *mūni implied by mūnia.
