Satte, Sette, f., ‘bowl, porringer, milk-pan,’ ModHG. only, from LG. satte, sętte, a derivative of sitten, ‘to sit’; the milk is kept in Satten, so that the cream may set. OHG. satta, ‘basket, provision basket,’ which became obsolete as early as the beginning of the MidHG. period, does not appear to be allied.
