The word, metric, means referring to a measure: it is a measure of some characteristic and how it is measured depends on the way in which it is defined. This may be illustrated by considering the metric for distance. Conventionally, the metric for the distance between two points is the length of the straight line joining them. However, on the surface of a sphere, for example, it is a length along the "Great Circle". In a Minkovski space (for example a road grid like in Manhattan) it is the North-South distance plus the East-West distance.
