Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: fesse

Inherited from Old French: -

Inherited from Latin: fissum

In summary

Inherited from Middle French fesse f, from Old French fesse f, from Vulgar Latin *fissa f (“split, cleft”), from Latin fissum n, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰidtós.
Originally referred to the gluteal cleft. The verb fesser and its derivatives are etymologically unrelated and converged toward fesse in both form and sense through assimilation.
