δάπεδον

Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *dḿ̥-pedom, from *dem- + *ped-. Possibly cognate to Proto-Germanic *tumftiz (“ground around a building; foundation”). The second element is equivalent to πέδον (pédon) and cognate to Sanskrit पद (padá, “step, footstep, footprint”), Old Armenian հետ (het, “footprint, track”), English foot, Latin pēs and Hittite 𒁉𒂊𒁕𒀭 (pēdan).
