The Word 'police' has its origin in the Latin Word 'politia', which means, civil administration. The Word, politia too, is a derivative of a Greek Word 'polis', interpreted as 'city' in English.
Vigil in the singular and vigilēs in the plural are Latin equivalents of the English Word "police." The masculine singular form tends to be rendered into English as "sentinel" or "watchman," sometimes with fire-fighting capabilities, whereas the masculine plural form translates into English as "police" or "watch." The respective pronunciations will be "vih-ghihl" in the singular and "vih-ghih-leyss" in the plural in Latin.
