This bothers me

Pod = Latin root for foot

BiPED = 2-legged
TriPOD = 3-legged
QuadruPED = 4-legged

Why does it randomly change from pod to ped?

Is It Normal?

  • Pod is Greek, ped is Latin. I have no idea why some words use a Greek base versus a Latin one. They just do.

    • Huh. That's actually pretty interesting. I didn't know that
