Comes from 'alright'
As in 'Are you Alight?' 'Yeah, I'm alright'
Gets shortened to 'Ite?' 'Ite.'

one of many examples why the english language is a serious mess. "Its" completely inverts the common apostrophe rule, where "'s" usually is a possessive term, but here, the word without the apostrophe is the possessive term. the "'s" of this word is the abbreviated version of "it is".
