-'''Ped-''' (sometimes spelled '''paed-''', '''pæd-''', or rarely '''paid-''', depending on the word and the language or dialect) is a [[prefix]] in English and many other Western languages, often with divergent spellings, such as ''pet-'', ''pie-'', ''pei-'', etc.).  It conveys multiple meanings, from different [[Latin]] and [[Ancient Greek]] [[root words]]:
-# Primarily, 'relating to [[child]]ren', from Greek {{lang|grc-Latn|pais}} ({{lang|grc|[[:wikt:παῖς|παῖς]]}}), meaning 'child',<ref>Search God's Words. (2011). The New Testament's Greek Lexicon. Accessed May 9, 2011, from http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3816</ref> which derived from the [[Proto-Indo-European]] stem ''[[:wikt:Index:Proto-Indo-European/p|*peu-]]'', meaning 'small', 'young', or 'few'.<ref name=Online>Online Etymology Dictionary. (2010). Pedo- Accessed May 9, 2011, from http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pedo-</ref> It is usually spelled ''ped-'' in [[North American English]] (as in ''pediatrics'' and ''pedophilia''), and pronounced {{IPAc-en|p|ɛ|d}} or {{IPAc-en|p|iː|d}} 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 {{IPAc-en|p|iː|d}}.  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 {{lang|la|pes}} or {{lang|la|pedis}}, 'foot', from the [[Proto-Indo-European]] [[Word stem|stem]] ''[[:wikt:Index:Proto-Indo-European/p|*ped-]]'' with the same meaning.<ref>Nostratica. *ped-.

Many words in English and other Western languages relating to feet instead use the Greek-derived cognate ''pod-'' (e.g. ''[[podiatrist]]''), and the Greek suffix ''-pus'' may also be used (as in ''[[octopus]]'').
-# 'Relating to soil', from the Ancient Greek word for 'soil, the ground', {{lang|grc-Latn|pédon}} or {{lang|grc-Latn|pēdón}} ({{lang|grc|[[:wikt:πέδον|πέδον]]}}, {{lang|grc|πηδόν}}), and 'a plain or field' {{lang|grc-Latn|pedíon}} ({{lang|grc|πεδίον}})<ref>My Etymology.

-# 'Relating to [[flatulence]]', from Latin {{lang|la|[[wikt:pedo#Latin-fart|pēdō]]}} (infinitive {{lang|la|pēdere}}, 'to fart'), the root for words relating to flatulation in several Indo-European languages;<ref name="Adams1997">Adams, Douglas Q.

-In meanings 2, 3, and 4, the spelling remains ''ped-'' in Commonwealth English words that begin with these letters.  Not all derived words do; e.g., ''petard'' (a small bomb) is from meaning 4, and entered English from [[Middle French]] {{lang|frm|pétard}} for the same thing (originally literally meaning 'fart', it remains an uncommon Modern French word for 'firecracker').
