If that is Norwegian then 'hatte' could refer to 'hat' which according to dictionary is 'hatt' in Norwegian. 'Master' would have roughly similar meaning as in English, but that 'mager' is interesting. Dictionary gives gives four options 'meager', 'lean', 'skinny' and 'magus'...
Ofcourse it maybe phrase which have very own meaning or then dictionary is incomplete...
EDIT: One little question: How old that source is from where that word comes from? Meanings and spelling change over time. For example word 'blå' today means 'blue' but once upon a time it (and English work 'blue') also meant 'dark'. Also once upon a time 'beige' was referred as shade of gray rather than colour of its own.
