the.com/pes
Latin for foot, hiding in every pedal, pedestrian, and tripod you own.
means The Latin word for 'foot,' used in English mostly as a word-building root rather than standing alone.
from From Latin pes, pedis ('foot'), itself from the Proto-Indo-European root *ped- meaning foot. That same root fans out across the language family — Greek pous/podos (giving 'octopus' and 'podiatrist'), English 'foot' itself, and a whole Latin brood: pedal, pedestrian, pedigree, impede, tripod, expedite. 'Pes' rarely walks alone in English; it mostly shows up linking arms with prefixes and suffixes.
