By surface analysis, setl (“seat”) +‎ -an (verb-forming suffix), but without expected i-mutation, possibly indicating a late formation.

(intransitive) to settle, rest
- c. 980, The Whale:
  Is þæs hīw ġelīċ hrēofum stāne, swylċe wōrie bī wædes ōfre, sondbeorgum ymbseald, sǣrȳrica mǣst, swā þæt wēnaþ wǣġlīþende þæt hȳ on ēalond sum ēagum wliten, ond þonne ġehȳdað hēahstefn sċipu tō þām unlonde oncyrrāpum, setlaþ sǣmēaras sundes ǣt ende, ond þonne in þæt ēġlond up ġewītað collenferþe; ċēolas stondað bī staþe fæste, strēame biwunden.
  His shape is like a jagged stone, as if it were crumbling by a shore of shallow water, hemmed in by sand-mounds, the greatest of sea-reedlands, as like the wave-farers think that they have looked with eyes on some island, and then tie up high-stem ships to the false-land with anchor-ropes, settle the sea-steeds at the end of the sea, and then, bold-hearted, go up on the island; the boats steadfastly stand next to the bank, wrapped by the stream.
(of the sun) to set
