A pedal is something that you push with your feet
The word "sesquipedalian" was formed in the late 17th century, combining the Latin roots "sesqui" (one and a half) and "pedalis" (foot). It was used to describe long words or sentences.
"Dorsalis pedis" refers to a major artery in the foot that supplies blood to the dorsal aspect of the foot and toes. It is commonly used in medical examinations to assess blood flow to the lower extremities.
