Etymology edit

From Middle English *pod ("seed-pod, husk, shell, outer covering"; attested in pod-ware (legume seed; seed grain)), likely from Old English pād (an outer garment, covering, coat, cloak), from Proto-West Germanic *paidu, from Proto-Germanic *paidō (coat, smock, shirt), from Proto-Indo-European *baiteh₂- (woolen clothes). Cognate with Old Saxon pēda (skirt), German dialectal Pfeid, Pfeit (shirt), Gothic 𐍀𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌰 (paida, mantle, skirt), Albanian petk (gown, garment, dress, suit), Ancient Greek βαίτη (baítē, goat-skin, fur-coat, tent).
