The term "ghetto" was first used in Venice, Italy, in the early 16th century, specifically in 1516, when the city established a segregated area for its Jewish population. The name is believed to derive from "getto," referring to the foundry nearby. Over time, the term evolved to describe segregated urban areas where marginalized groups, particularly Jews during the Holocaust, were forced to live. Today, it is used more broadly to refer to impoverished urban areas with limited opportunities.
