From Wikipedia
A synthesizer patch is a sound setting.
Modular synthesizers used cables ("patch cords") to connect the different sound modules together.
Since these machines had no memory to save settings, musicians wrote down the locations of the patch cables and knob positions on a "patch sheet" (which usually showed a diagram of the synthesizer).
Ever since, an overall sound setting for any type of synthesizer has been known as a patch.
