To do with defining or measuring distances.
A metric space, for example, is a space with a way of measuring distance defined for the space. The "normal" measure of the distance between two points is the Euclidean which is the length of the straight line joining the two points.
However, there are other metrics such as the taxicab or Manhattan metric (developed by Minkovski), which is based on distances measured along a pair of orthogonal distances. So 3 blocks North and 4 blocks East is a distance of 7 blocks - not 5 blocks as it would have been using the Euclidean definition and Pythagoras.
