Answer 1

I doubt that "metro(polis)" is a place name here. But let's see how we can sort words according to their etymology:

1). From Foreign Words
a). kindergarten (from German Kinder = children; Garten = garden)
b). urban (from Latin urbanus, from urbs = city)
c).cotton (via French coton from Arabic qutn)

2). By Combining Words into one
combination can be done by means such as compounding:
a). blackbird
it can be done by forming a portmanteau-word:
b). smog (from smoke and fog)
or by contraction
c). let's (from let + us; nowadays "let's go" does usually not mean the same as "let us go" !)

3). From The Names Of People
a). to lynch, after William Lynch (1742-1820) of Pittsylvania, Va., who c.1780 led a vigilance committee to keep order there during the Revolution.
b). hooligan, almost certainly from the surname Houlihan, supposedly from a lively family of that name in London
c).caesarian, supposedly from Caius Julius Cæsar, who was said to have been delivered surgically

4). From the names of places
a). bohemian, via French bohemién from the country name Bohemia
b). Byzantine, in reference to the complex, devious, and intriguing character of the royal court of Constantinople (also known as "Byzantium").
c).philistine, via German Philister "enemy of God's word," lit. "Philistine," inhabitants of a Biblical land, neighbours (and enemies) of Israel

5). From Technological & Scientific Advances
a). radar, acronym (more or less) for radio detecting and ranging.
b). fax (from Latin "fac simile" = make similar)
c). internet


Good luck!

Answer 2

There is no such thing as an "etymology" word. Maybe you mean a stem, a prefix or a word root. Etymology is telling the etymon, the truth behind words (the meaning). Use
http://dictionary.reference.com to search for words (usually the first results contain the etymology associated to those words).
Foreign parts /Scientific achievements: -logy -tomy -metry (all greek-related. Latin is a good source, too.).
