From Late Old Spanish hato (“clothes; herd”), originally *fato, from a Germanic language, possibly a supposed Gothic *𐍆𐌰𐍄 (*fat), from Proto-Germanic *fat-, from Proto-Indo-European *pēd- (“to grasp, seize”). Compare Old High German fazzōn (“to get dressed”), German Fetzen (“rag(s), scrap(s)”), Old Norse fat (“vessel; cover; blanket; garment”), English fat (“liquid container, vessel; vat”).…
