Походження

From Middle English pate, of uncertain origin. Perhaps a shortened form of Old French pate

From Middle English pate, of uncertain origin. Perhaps a shortened form of Old French patene or Medieval Latin patena, both from Latin patina (“pan, dish”). Alternatively, perhaps akin to Old Frisian pote (“skull”).

Attested since circa 1700, from French pâté, from Old French paste, pastée. Doublet of pâté and patty.
