Syntaxiom

municipalize

/mjunˈɪsɪpəlˌaɪz/ verb

To convert into a municipality

Word Origin Municipal comes from Latin municipalis, from munus 'duty, service' and capere 'to take' — originally referring to a town that took on the duties of Roman citizenship. Municipalize adds the verb suffix -ize, meaning 'to make municipal', i.e., to bring under municipal control. The same roots give us munificent (generous with gifts), immune (free from duty), and capture (to take).
