Metropolitan
- When the word metropolitan (from the Greek metera = mother and polis = town) is used as an adjective, as in metropolitan bishop, metropolitan France, or metropolitan area it can mean:
- of or characteristic of a metropolis; see also metropolitan area
- of or belonging to the home territories of a country, as opposed to overseas territories (example: metropolitan France)
- of, relating to, or designating an ecclesiastical metropolis (example: metropolitan bishop)
- When it is used as a noun, it can mean:
- A metropolitan bishop (thus one may write "Alexius became Metropolitan of Kiev in 1354"; including the word bishop in such a sentence would be unusual),
- A Metropolitan, a car originally known as the Nash Metropolitan, or
- A Metropolitan Railway, commonly known as a Subway, Metro, Underground or U-Bahn (though, this meaning generally is used in Romantic languages).
