Foot is from Greek 'pod', pous' (foot) from Sanskrit 'padam' (foot)Lati pes, pedis (foot), Anglo-Saxon, 'fot.

Use of ped / pedis in the following terms:

Pedal,( that one used to be pushed by foot')

pedometer

Podiatry

PODiatrists meaning Foot Doctor ( from Greek 'pod' Foot + 'iotros' : physician),

ChiroPodist, ( usually podiatrist meaning a' a person whose job is tthe care & treatment of people's feet),

Chiropody (the work of a Chiropodist)

Pedestal (fan with la leg or stand)

Paediatrics, paediatrician etc etc

Have done a near research!
