"Polis" is a suffix that in Greek literally means city. Words that end in polis such as acropolis (which is a high city on elevated ground) and metropolis (which is a large city or urban area) have the suffix. Town and city names can also end with polis. It means city, and the root or prefix of the word can further influence the words overall meaning.
