ラテン語のpadela（小さな鋤）から、さらにpatella（小さな皿）から、patinaの短縮形から、語源的にはpan、patellaと同じで、後に派生してpaddleとなった。

pad「水をかき分ける」、-le「繰り返す」から。

paddle (n.)

c. 1400, padell "small spade," from Medieval Latin padela, of uncertain origin, perhaps from Latin patella "small pan, little dish, plate," diminutive of patina (see pan (n.)).

Meaning "short oar with a wide blade" is from 1620s. As an instrument used for beating clothes (and slaves, and schoolboys), it is recorded from 1828, American English. Paddle-ball attested from 1935.
