In summary

From Early New High German pass, from Middle High German pas (“parts of a deer's entrails”) (but also West Central German "step, walk, gait, way", also "the right measure; the right, appropriate time" by influence of Middle Dutch, whence Late Middle High German pas (“"measured part, section”), compare the verb passen). Borrowed from Old French pas (“pace, step”) (partially intermediated by Middle Dutch pas), from Latin passus.
The meaning "pass, passageway" is first recorded in the 15th century and is possibly influenced by Italian passo (“pass”). The meaning "pace of an animal" is first recorded in the 16th century.
