Does anyone know where the expression "nitty-gritty" comes from ?

I've always liked it !

Can I ask what it means? I'm curious!

P.S: Nice nickname, it sounds so funny!

My nick means "masked sardine" ! what does "pucca" mean ?

And thanks Kim for the great link ! it appears that there is no certainty as for the origin of the expression, then.
