Borrowed from Hindi छाता (chātā). Doublet of chador and chhatra.
chatta (plural chattas)
chatta
From the root chad (“to cover over”) + -tta (“instrument suffix”), if not simply Sanskrit छत्त्र (chattra), which is not necessarily an old formation.

From the 'sunshade' meaning, though the semantic route is debated. Possibly Sanskrit छात्त्र (chāttra), and certainly related.
