Satte, Sette, feminine, ‘bowl, porringer, milk-pan,’ Modern High German only, from Low German satte, sętte, a derivative of sitten, ‘to sit’; the milk is kept in Satten, so that the cream may set. Old High German satta, ‘basket, provision basket,’ which became obsolete as early as the beginning of the Middle High German period, does not appear to be allied.
