Etymology

The word 'pedal' derives from the Latin word 'pes,' which means 'foot.' This is because pedals are operated by foot movement. The term 'pedal' started to appear in English in the early 19th century, primarily related to bicycles that were becoming popular at that time. The formation of the word 'pedaled' as the past tense clearly illustrates its common use in the context of cycling. As bicycles were improved and became more widespread, the term became more ingrained in everyday language. Over the decades, the use of pedals has also expanded to other devices, and 'pedaled' can now refer to a broad range of actions involving foot-operated mechanisms.
