Where this word comes from

From Latin pedester, pedestrem. Generally considered a later borrowing because it conserved the intervocalic -d- and even so, did not diphthongize the feminine to an expected *pedeastră. However, despite these problems, its presence in Aromanian and the existence of the popular/folk senses found in southern and western Transylvania, as well as its documentation as far back as the mid 17th century indicate that it may have been an inherited word.
