Etymology
From Spanish patio, either from Old Occitan patu or pati (compare Occitan and Catalan pati), from Late Latin pactus, from Latin pactum (“pact, agreement, bargain”), hence a doublet of pact, or alternatively from Latin patēre (“to lie open”). See: Spanish Nouns '
patio', Latin Nouns '
pactum', Latin Nouns '
pateō'.
