Etimoloxía (Inglés)

Herdado de Middle English: padell

Relativo a grego antigo: πηδάλιον

Relativo a baixo alemán: paddeln

Relativo a Saterfriesisch: paddelje

In summary

Partly from the verb paddle ("to splash, dabble"; see below) and partly from Middle English padell (“small spade”).
Middle English padell is from Medieval Latin padela, itself of uncertain origin: perhaps an alteration of Middle English *spaddle (see also spaddle), a diminutive of spade; or from Latin patella (“pan, plate”), the diminutive of patina, or a merger of the two. Compare Ancient Greek πηδάλιον (pēdálion, “rudder, steering oar”), derived from πηδός (pēdós, “the blade of an oar; an oar”).
