Noun

 * 1) A measure for something; a means of deriving a quantitative measurement or approximation for otherwise qualitative phenomena (especially used in engineering).
 * 2)  A function which satisfies a particular set of formal conditions, created to generalize the notion of the distance between two points. Formally, a real-valued function $$d$$ on $$M \times M$$, where $$M$$ is a set, is called a metric if (1) $$d(x,y) = 0$$ if and only if $$x=y$$, (2) $$d(x,y) = d(y,x)$$ for all pairs $$(x,y)$$, and (3) $$d$$ obeys the triangle inequality.
 * 3)  A metric tensor.
