单词 chiropodist
释义

chiropodistn.

/kʌɪˈrɒpədɪst/
Etymology: A factitious designation, apparently assumed in 1785: see first quots. Whether the inventor put together Greek χείρ, χειρο- hand, and πούς, ποδ- foot, to indicate that hands and feet were the objects of his attention, or whether he had in view the ready-made Greek χειροπόδης (or χειρόπους, χειρόποδ-) ‘having chapped feet’, does not appear. The latter would better justify his formation, the former better suit his meaning. Greek χειρόποδ- is founded on χειράς a chap, properly of the hands (χείρ) but also of the feet (χειράδες ποδῶν).
‘One who treats diseases of the hands and feet; now usually restricted to one who treats corns and bunions’ ( New Sydenham Soc. Lexicon).
