Etymology

Borrowed from Italian impattare (“to tie, to draw”), probably from Latin pactum (“agreement, bargain, pact”), formally from the supine pactum of pacīscor (“to bargain, to contract”); not directly related to homonymous Italian impattare (“to impact”), derived via an English borrowing from the nearly homonymous supine impāctum of impingō (“to strike”).
