Etymology

From Late Old Spanish hato (“clothes; herd”), originally *fato, from a Germanic language, possibly a supposed Gothic *𐍆𐌰𐍄 (*fat); 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”). Within Romance languages, compare Franco-Provençal fata (“pocket”), Galician fato (“herd”), Portuguese fato (“uniform, suit; animal entrails”). First attested in Juan Ruiz (14th century).

Coromines and Pascual suspect the Old Spanish term may have been further influenced by Arabic حَظّ (ḥaẓẓ, “one's share, portion”), particularly in the sense of "shepherds' supplies".
