The answer
PATCH
What patch means
A small piece of material used to cover a hole or worn area, or a plot of land, or a temporary fix applied to software or a system.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *pacche*, likely from Old French *pache*, possibly derived from a Germanic source related to Old High German *pfad* (path). The sense of a small piece of cloth sewn onto a garment developed in medieval times, while the meaning "plot of land" emerged later from the idea of a distinct, bounded area—similar to how a patch of cloth is a separate piece attached to a whole.
