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

Usage notes

• 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.

Etymology 3

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

Noun

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

1. pedestrian

   (Medieval Latin, military) foot soldier

   Synonym: pānsa

2. person with broad feet

Declension

Third-declension noun.

nominative	pedō	pedōnēs
genitive	pedōnis	pedōnum
