Etymology
Orel considers this a lengthened grade derivation from Proto-Indo-European *ped- (‘to walk, to step; to stumble, to fall’), *pḗd-eye/o-, noting a few Baltic forms with the same lengthened grade, Lithuanian pė́das (‘foot, sheaf’) and Latvian pę̂da (‘foot, bundle, armful’). The semantic development was perhaps ‘go, walk’ → ‘set in motion, make ready’ → ‘equip’ → ‘adorn’.
