IPA: /po.lǐː.tɛːs/, /poˈli.tis/, /poˈli.tis/, /po.lǐː.tɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /poˈli.te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /poˈli.tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /poˈli.tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /poˈli.tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From πόλις (pólis, “city”) + -της (-tēs). The ῑ from the stem of πόλις led to the backformation -ῑ́της (-ī́tēs), whence the reanalysis πολ-ῑ́της (pol-ī́tēs).
