In summary

Uncertain, but possibly from a supposed Gothic *𐍆𐌰𐍄 (*fat), likely from a Proto-Germanic root *fat-, from Proto-Indo-European *pēd- (“to grasp, seize”).
Compare Old High German fazzōn (“to get dressed”), German Fetzen (“rag(s), scrap(s)”), Old Norse fat (“vessel; cover; blanket; garment”), English fat (“liquid container, vessel; vat”); also Franco-Provençal fata (“pocket”), Galician fato (“herd”), Spanish hato (“bundle; animal herd; worker supplies; clique, gang”).
