fetter

fetter: [OE] Etymologically, fetters are shackles for restraining the ‘feet’. The word comes from prehistoric Germanic *feterō, which derived ultimately from the same Indo-European base, *ped-, as produced English foot. The parallel Latin formation, incidentally, was pedica ‘fetter’, from which English gets impeach.
=> foot, impeach, pedal
