"In ancient Greece, the term metic (Greek métoikos: from metá, indicating change, and oîkos "dwelling")[1] referred to a resident alien, one who did not have citizen rights in his or her Greek city-state (polis) of residence.

If it had been borrowed early, Greek métoikos would become Latin metoecus and English metecous or the like. But because it was borrowed when Greek oi was pronounced as y (see Koine Greek phonology), it was transliterated into Latin as metycus. English metic replaces y with i, perhaps by analogy with the -ic suffix.[citation needed]"
