Where this word comes from
From Picard Middle French batiche (c. 1400), probably derived from battre (“to beat”). Alternatively suggested to go back to a manufacturer by the name of Baptiste, but this rests entirely on conjecture as no such manufacturer is known. It is possible, however, that the form was influenced by the same association.
