Where this word comes from
From nōmen (“name”) and capiō (“seize, catch”). De Vaan says the original compound must have been a nominal of the form *nōmiceps, with the meaning 'taking a name, declaring', from which was derived a verb of the first conjugation. This would have undergone syncope, passing through steps like the following: *nōmicupāre > *nōncupāre > *noncupāre > nuncupāre.
