The Latin term for foot fungus is tinea (a type of fungus) pedis (foot) and doctors learn this in school. Foot fungus is also sometimes called athlete's foot and ringworm. The word "ringworm" (translated) is from the 15th century. The word is inaccurate - foot fungus is NOT worms in a foot. There are many types of fungus and you might want to check it out in your search engine. Two fungi (plural of fungus) are mushrooms and yeast. Hope this answers your question. A few ways to help prevent athlete's foot are to keep your feet clean, dry, wear footwear that let your feet breathe and don't walk barefoot in public areas like locker rooms. There are other ways and you can find them online.
