Metro is the abbreviation for metropolitan, which just means a densely populated area. It used to mean the capital of a country, because traditionally, that was the largest city in a country, but today that isn't always so, and the meaning has expanded to include any large city. Metro can mean a subway or train system that serves a metropolitan area, it can refer to the stores in that area, or it can refer to a sports team that comes from such an area.

Ok here it goes:
metro: a subway system
metro: short for metropolis (like the city)
metro: short for metrosexual - a straight male who is in touch with his femine side (but not gay) (into clothing, and grooming).

Metro is from metropolis, and that is from Greek and Latin, and means "mother city," in the sense of chief or principal city of an area. It came to mean a train system in a city because many cities ran trains under a name with "Metropolitan" as part of the name.

For example, if a guy dresses really hip and in style but is straight, he looks metro (where he could be either gay or straight)- because generally gay men care more about their appearance - this is harder to explain than I thought it would be. hee hee ;)

Metro is metropolitan - the city proper, the business area - not the suburbs.
