Etymology

Of uncertain origin; proposed derivations include:
* From Proto-Indo-European *pesd- and so cognate with English feist. This would make ae hypercorrect, with the inherited form being *pēdor.
* From a Proto-Indo-European root common with Ancient Greek σπίλος (spílos, “spot, fleck”) and Armenian փիծ (pʻic, “dirty, impure”).
