If you're looking for it, you may find it in sources that describe the rules for Werewolf: The Apocalypse -- children born of werewolf-werewolf matings were called the metis, and not only were they sterile, they often had deformities or derangements.
It's possible that that was the origin of the word. But métis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9tis) also describes someone of multiracial parentage, and there are a group of people called the metis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9tis_people_%28Canada%29) in Canada.
Considering how much of W:TA's mythology was supposed to resemble Native American mythology, I think I may have spotted some kind of RaceFail.
