Where this word comes from

From ped- (“foot”) + -ō (noun-forming suffix). Found only in late glosses. Replaced the Classical equivalent pedĕs, since the latter was at risk of homophony with pedēs ("feet", and other inflections thereof) due to ongoing sound changes in the vernacular. Romance inherited sense 1, often with transferred meanings like 'footsoldier', 'peasant'.
