Origin

Late 16th century (in sense 2): from cock¹ + pit¹. sense 1 dates from the early 20th century and derives from an early 18th-century nautical term denoting an area in the aft lower deck of a man-of-war where the wounded were taken, later coming to mean 'the ‘pit’ or well from which a yacht is steered'; hence the place housing the controls of other vehicles.

At first a cockpit was a place for holding cock fights, so from the beginning the word had connotations of bloodshed and injury. This accounts for it being applied in the early 18th century to the area in the aft lower deck of a man-of-war where wounded sailors were treated during a battle. It then came to be used for the well from which you steer a sailing yacht. Finally, in the 20th century, cockpit acquired its modern meaning, the area or compartment that houses the controls of an aircraft or racing car.
