This is a phrase composed of Old English 'weather' (originally 'whether' meaning 'if it is the case that'), Latin 'contractus' (drawn together, agreement), and Latin 'concludere' (to close, finish). In legal English, it has been used since the 18th century to refer to determining the finalization of a contract.
