Usage

Munir is a somewhat formal or literary verb in Spanish, less common in everyday speech than alternatives like "proveer" (to provide) or "abastecer" (to supply). It is particularly used in military or historical contexts. Note that in Portuguese it means "to change" (coins), a different sense entirely.
