Primarily, 'relating to children', from Greek pais (παῖς), meaning 'child',[1] which derived from the Proto-Indo-European stem *peu-, meaning 'small', 'young', or 'few'.[2] It is usually spelled ped- in North American English (as in pediatrics and pedophilia), and pronounced /pɛd/ or /piːd/ depending on the word. In Commonwealth English it is more often paed- (e.g. paediatrics, paedophilia), sometimes with a ligature as pæd-, and almost always pronounced /piːd/. Rarely in English, words from this root may take a paid- prefix (e.g. paidology), or take only a ped- not paed- spelling (pedagogy).
'Relating to feet', in words (e.g. pedestrian, pedicure) derived from Latin pes, genitive pedis, 'foot', from the Proto-Indo-European stem *ped- with the same meaning.[3][4] Romance languages' words from this Latin root often take pie- spellings, as in medieval French and Italian piedmont 'foothill' (modern French piémont, Occitan piemont, Italian piemonte or pedemontano), and Spanish pie, pies 'foot, feet'. Many words in English and other Western languages relating to feet instead use the Greek-derived cognate pod- (e.g. podiatrist), and the Greek-derived suffix -pus may also be used (as in octopus).
'Relating to soil', from the Ancient Greek word for 'soil, the ground', pédon or pēdón (πέδον, πηδόν), and 'a plain or field' pedíon (πεδίον)[5][6]
'Relating to flatulence', from Latin pēdō (infinitive pēdere, 'to fart'), the root for words relating to flatulation in several Indo-European languages;[7]
