Etymology
A late innovation, apparently by analogy with sit → sat; spit → spat, etc. First recorded in the eighteenth century. Compare Old English sċāt.
From Arabic شَطّ (šaṭṭ); see chott; for the spelling, compare Shatt al-Arab.
Sometimes said to be a shortening of an obsolete word (*)shattle (“needle”), but more likely a shortening of the synonymous (pine) shatter.
