之前的整理有些不好背，而且我又把他們再更加簡化了
municipal
muni(public office, duty, or gift)-cip(take)-al
adj.市的;市政的 [Municipal means associated with or belonging to a city or
town that has its own local government.]
ex. municipal elections
ex. the municipal library
ex. XX municipal high school 市立xx高級中學
字源：from L. municipalis "of a citizen of a free town"
字中的muni來自於munus有三種解釋："public office" 、"duty"、"gift" --- 之前我說
可把字義聯想成公共。
而字根cip是take的意思。
我之前把cip用cap(head)去講解的說法，是比較好記，但其實並不正確。
municipal：
muni(公共)+ cip(cap 頭)-->公共的頭---市政的
可參考p. 96 and p. 246的整理
municipality
muni-cip-al-ity
n.自治區(在台灣也叫作市); 市政當局 [A political unit, such as a city, town,

n.寬宏大量;慷慨 [extremely liberal in giving; very generous.]
ex. Your munificence brings joy to you and those praise you.
你的寬宏大量帶給你喜樂與那些你稱善你的人。
字源：from L. munificentia, 其中的 munificus指的是"generous, bountiful,
liberal," = munus "gift, duty, office" - fic "to do"
munition(s) 通常是複數型
n. [War materiel, especially weapons and ammunition(彈藥)]
ex. munition industry 軍火工業
ex. munition factory
字源： L. munire "to fortify"
muniment
n.契據(法律的用語) [a document, as a title deed or a charter, by which rights
or privileges are defended or maintained.]
字源：跟munition一樣，都是來自於L. munire "to fortify"，加強關係之物，或只是具
有像城堡一樣可以保護的物品---那個就是契據啦
