Infinitesimally closer to on-topic, yet somehow infinitely less relevant. More interesting? I suppose it might be to you, but we all already have access to wiki. Those seeking suspect information are encouraged to go and go often.

May as well make it more interesting, Tom, and a teensy closer to on-topic, Italian metal!:
"The word historically referred specifically to the Venetian Ghetto in Venice, Italy, where Jews were required to live; it derives from the Venetian gheto (slag from Latin GLĬTTU[M] cfr. Italian ghetto (slag)), and referred to the area of the Cannaregio sestiere, the site selected for the Ghetto Nuovo where a foundry cooled the slag (campo gheto)."
