"Patsy" likely comes from the nickname Patrick or Pat, which in 19th-century slang became associated with someone naive or easy to trick, possibly reinforced by stock characters in theater. By the early 20th century it meant a person easily deceived, manipulated, or set up to take blame. It appears in crime contexts, politics, and everyday speech. The term is mildly derogatory but not vulgar.
