The Mavens' Word of the Day (476 words)
Ghetto as the walled and gated area in which Jews were required to live was first used for a section of Venice in 1516, and scholars believe that the word comes from an iron foundry in the neighborhood.
The first appearance of ghetto in English was in 1611: "The place where the whole fraternity of the Jews dwelleth together, which is called the Ghetto" and "Walking in the Court of the Ghetto, I casually met with a Jewish Rabbin that spake good Latin" (Thomas Coryat, Coryats Crudities).
Ghetto began to be used as a verb meaning 'to put in a ghetto' in the 1930s: "Jews, who are ghettoed under the racial legislation" (Times of London, 1936).
