† pedalityn.¹

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pedalitas.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin pedalitas possession of feet (c1300 in a British source) < classical Latin pedālis measuring a foot, a foot long (see pedal adj.) + -tās (see -ty suffix¹; compare -ity suffix).

Obsolete. rare.

The fact or quality of having feet; the ability to travel by foot; the action of measuring by paces.

/pəˈdælədi/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ped n.³, -ality suffix.

Etymology: < ped n.³ + -ality suffix.

Soil Science.

The structural characteristics of a soil as represented by the features of its constituent peds (ped n.³); esp. the degree to which a soil is composed of discrete peds.

1960 R. Brewer & J. R. Sleeman in Jrnl. Soil Sci. 11 172 The term pedality is proposed for the study of what has been called structure in the field.

1965 Jrnl. Ecol. 53 50 There is also a decline in the visible porosity of the soils, together with greater structural development or pedality.

1990 World Archaeol. 22 65 The low pedality of silt loam soils can lead to loss of structure.

1999 Soil Sci. Soc. Amer. Jrnl. 63 955 Soil hydraulic properties could be estimated from morphological features determined in situ (including texture, initial moisture state, pedality, macroporosity, and root density).
