Etymology 1
Partly from the verb paddle ("to splash, dabble"; see below) and partly from Middle English padell (“small spade”).Middle English padell is from Medieval Latin padela, itself of uncertain origin: perhaps an alteration of Middle English *spaddle (see also spaddle), a diminutive of spade; or from Latin patella (“pan, plate”), the diminutive of patina, or a merger of the two. Compare Ancient Greek ???????? (p?dálion, “rudder, steering oar”), derived from ????? (p?dós, “the blade of an oar; an oar”).
