† pattn.adj.

Forms: 1700s pat, 1700s patt.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pat.

Etymology: < French pat (in chess) stalemate (1689) < Italian patta vote that results in a tie (1533; 15th cent. in stare de patta be even), in spec. use in cards probably in sense ‘tied or equal total of points’ (1640 in Oudin), a draw in a match or game (1740), of uncertain origin (see below). Compare ( < French) German Patt (19th cent.), Dutch pat (19th cent.).In French, the word has been influenced in form by association with mat mate n.¹ Italian patta is cognate with Italian pattare draw equal, make peace (a1543) and perhaps derives from it, although apparently attested earlier. Derivations for both have been suggested either < patto covenant, agreement (13th cent.; < classical Latin pactum pact n.) or < patta , earlier form of epatta epact (a1294; < post-classical Latin epacta epact n.). N.E.D. (1904) cites a Latinized form pacta from Johannes Chachi's 1511 collection of Chess Problems (MS, Casanetense Lib., Rome, 791, f. 28 a) ‘li andati ad fronte et sera pacta’.
