Etymology
1. "to move the eyelids," 1847, Amer.Eng., from earlier sense of "flutter as a hawk" (1615), a variant of bate (2) on the notion of fluttering wings.
2. From Middle English batten, baten (“to beat”), from Old French batre (“to beat”), from Late Latin battere, from Latin battuere, of uncertain origin; perhaps of Germanic or Celtic origin. In modern English reinterpreted as a verbal derivative of Etymology 2. Compare batter, battery. See: Middle English '
