pedo (plural pedos)

1. Alternative spelling of paedo (“pedophile”).

• While paedophile is the standard spelling in the British Commonwealth (and pedophile is the standard spelling in North America), the slang term pedo is commonly used in North America and Australia. This is because in Australian English, the British spelling and the American pronunciation are used. In the United Kingdom, paedo is a more common slang term.

pedo

1. first-person singular present indicative of pedere

• pedo in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana

• -pode

From ped- (“foot”) +‎ -ō (verb-forming suffix).

pedō (present infinitive pedāre, perfect active pedāvī, supine pedātum); first conjugation

1. (transitive) to furnish with feet
2. (by extension) to prop up trees or vines

From Proto-Italic *pezdō (“to fart”) from Proto-Indo-European *pesd- (“to fart”), probably of imitative origin. Cognates include Ancient Greek βδέω (bdéō), Lithuanian bezdė́ti, Russian бздеть (bzdetʹ, “fart quietly”), Serbo-Croatian bàzdjeti (“stink”).

pēdō (present infinitive pēdere, perfect active pepēdī, supine pēditum); third conjugation, no passive

1. (intransitive) to break wind, fart

• Italian: pedere
• Old French: poire
• Old Galician-Portuguese: peer (but not Galician peidar or Portuguese peidar)
• Spanish: peer

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.^[1] Romance inherited sense 1, often with transferred meanings like 'footsoldier', 'peasant'.

pedō m (genitive pedōnis); third declension (Late Latin ?)

1. pedestrian

   (Medieval Latin, military) foot soldier

   Synonym: pānsa

2. person with broad feet
