The French word "étroit" is typically used to mean "narrow" or "tight." It can; however, also mean "to be hard up."
The French preposition "de" means "of" and is written "d' " when preceding a word starting with a vowel.
So if the expression "Detroit City" was written in French as Cité D'étroit, it would mean the "City of Being Hard Up" (i.e. Hard Up City).
MERDE! (i.e. SHIT!) ... pardon my French.
