The word "pied" in literature has been deployed in a remarkably versatile manner, shifting seamlessly between literal, figurative, and metonymic uses. In several instances, it denotes the human or animal foot in its anatomical sense, as seen in definitions and descriptions of parts and measurements [1], [2] and in lively depictions of kicks or movements such as a mule’s prolonged kick [3] or a jument’s kick [4]. At the same time, "pied" serves as the basis for various idiomatic expressions—ranging from the practical notion of traveling on foot [5], [6] and the infantry fighting at foot [7] to the more playful or metaphorical applications, like quaint proverbs that argue one should be cautious with words or actions [8] or that extol a modest home as a “pied-à-terre” [9]. Moreover, its appearance in compound forms and allusions—such as in the legendary "Pied Piper" [10], [11] or in classical poetry that decorates nature with variegated imagery [12], [13], [14]—demonstrates how authors have enriched its semantic field to explore themes of movement, location, and even aesthetics.
