词源
词源 1

词源 2
From Middle English pade, padde, from Old English padde, from Proto-West Germanic *paddā, from Proto-Germanic *paddǭ (“toad”). Cognate with Dutch pad, German Low German Pad (“toad”), dialectal German Padde, Danish padde, Swedish padda, Icelandic padda (“toad”), and possibly to English paddle. Doublet of pode
词源 3
From Dutch pad or Middle Low German pat (“path”). Doublet of path.
词源 4

词源 5
Probably partly from Middle Low German pat, partly imitative. Some senses possibly influenced by pad (“soft part of an animal's foot”, noun).
词源 6
Probably imitative, perhaps related to or influenced by Etymology 5, above.
