paten.1

Brit. /peɪt/, U.S. /peɪt/
Forms: Middle English 1600s pat, Middle English– pate; English regional (northern) 1700s paate, 1800s peeat, 1800s pyte; also Scottish pre-1700 patt, pre-1700 1700s–1800s pat.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from French Perhaps a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French patène; Latin patena.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. The sense was perhaps originally metaphorical, in which case a shortening < Old French patène or its etymon classical Latin patena dish (see paten n.) might be possible (for a similar shortening compare Middle Low German pate paten n.). Origin as a variant of plate n. has also been suggested (hence with a similar sense development), but the loss of -l- seems unlikely.Earlier currency is perhaps implied by the surnames Aluric Pate (c1100–30), Osbertus Pate (1197), Adam rudipat (1199–1216), etc.
