term for toe is (plural ). This is a contraction of , and derives from Proto-Germanic *taihwo (cognates: Old Norse , Old Frisian , Middle Dutch tee, Dutch teen (perhaps originally a plural), Old High German zeha, German Zehe), perhaps originally meaning 'fingers' as well (many Indo-European languages use one word to mean both 'fingers' and 'toes', e.g. digit), and thus from PIE root *deyk- — 'to show'.
