Origin: IE [Indo-European] [790] * pod- `foot'

Etymology: Old des. of the foot, in most languages either unchanged as sonsonantstem or in transformed or. enlarged form maintained: Arm. ot-k` pl. = πόδες, to which acc. a. nom. sg. ot-n, prop. acc. = πόδα, IE *pód-m̥; with lenthened grade Germ., e.g. OWNo. fōtr, OE fēt pl. from PGm. * fōt-iz, IE *pṓd-es; to this with innovation after the u-st. e.g. Goth. fōt-u-s (acc. fōt-u \< IE *pṓd-m̥); with e-grade Lat. pēs, ped-is; with unrecogn. quality Skt. pā́t, acc. pā́d-am, gen. pad-ás; so old qualitative and quantitative ablaut IE *pē̆d-: pō̆d-. The e-grade is retained in Greek in a series of derivations: πέδη, πέζα, πεζός, πέδον, πέδιλον, πεδά (s. vv.); further old zero grade in ἔπιβδα (s. v.). -- Thematic enlargement in Lith. pãd-a-s `sole of the foot, threshing-floor etc.', Slav., e.g. Russ. pód `bottom, ground, plank-bed', perh. also in Hitt. pat(a)- (Luw. pati-) `foot'. Also Toch. A pe, B paiyye `foot' contains an enlargement, perh. a i̯o-suffix like πεζός a. o. (v. Windekens Orbis 10, 383 f.). -- The orig. lengthened grade of the nom. sg. is in Greek found only in Dor. πώς (only H.); for it Dor. πός, Hom. τρί-πος after the oblique forms; Att. etc. πούς like δούς a.o.; not certainly explained (Schwyzer 565 n. 3). -- Details from several languages with lit. in the dict.; cf WP. 2, 23ff., Pok. 790f.
