Pedo- or paedo-[1] is a prefix with these meanings:

  1. Primarily, 'relating to children', from the Ancient Greek word pais (παῖς), meaning 'child',[2] which derived from the Proto-Indo-European stem *peu-, meaning 'small', 'young', or 'few'.[1] 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- spelling (pedagogy).
  2. 'Relating to feet', in words (e.g. pedometer, pedestrian) derived from Latin pes (pedis) from the Proto-Indo-European stem *ped-, meaning 'foot'.[3][4]
  3. 'Relating to soil', from the Ancient Greek word for 'soil; the ground; a plain or field' pédon, pēdón, pedíon (πέδον, πηδόν, πεδίον)[5][dead link‍][6]
  4. 'Relating to flatulence', from Latin pēdō (infinitive pēdere, 'to fart'), the root word for 'flatulation' in several Indo-European languages;[7]

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 pétard for the same thing (originally literally meaning 'fart', it remains the Modern French word for 'firecracker'). Many words in English relating to feet (meaning 2) instead use the Greek-derived cognate pod- (e.g. podiatrist).
