Where the Phrase Comes From
The word mettle is historically just an old spelling variant of metal.
Just as blacksmiths or metalworkers would test the quality and strength of a sword, iron, or gold to see if it would break under pressure, the phrase became a metaphor for testing the "stuff a person is made of". [1, 2, 3, 4]
