What is the Greek meaning of citizens?

The Greek word for citizen is "politēs" (πολίτης), which comes from the word "polis" (πόλις), meaning "city". In ancient Greece, a citizen was a person who had full political rights in a city-state, such as the right to vote, hold office, and participate in the assembly. Citizens were typically freeborn males, although some wealthy women and foreign-born individuals were granted honorary citizenship.
