Today we passed by The Fresno Met and it made me curious about the etymology of the word "Metropolitan" or "Metropolis"

I found out that it comes from the Greek mētēr meaning 'mother' and pólis meaning 'city/town'.

So, if Metropolis means Mother Town, what does metrosexual mean???

Hmm...

metropolis is to metrosexual
as necropolis is to necrosexual?
