Definition
Plural of acropolis (Greek pronunciation); the upper fortified parts of ancient Greek cities, most famously the Acropolis of Athens.
Etymology
From Greek akron (peak, extremity) + polis (city), the regular Greek plural form acropoleis used in English when discussing multiple ancient citadels.
Kelly Says
The word 'acropolis' literally means 'city at the top'—and ancient Greeks really did build their most important temples and defenses on the highest hills, making them visible from miles away.
