The word "metropolis" was used in post-classical Latin to refer to a province's capital city, which is how the word came to English. What language does it originate from?
Answer Greek
Metropolis is a Greek term, derived from the words "mḗtēr," meaning mother, and "pólis," meaning city. That's how ancient Greeks referred to their parent cities, with whom they maintained cultic and cultural links.
