Adjective

IPA: /ˈpei̯.i̯or/ [Classical], [ˈpɛi̯ːɔr] [Classical], /ˈpe.jor/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈpɛːjor] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Probably from Proto-Indo-European *ped-yōs (“to the ground, downward”), from *ped- (“to walk, fall, stumble”); compare pessimus (“worst”). Michiel de Vaan notes that a similar phonetic change *[dj]/[jd] > *[j] can be observed in the etymology of caelum (“chisel”) and caia (“cudgel”) from Proto-Italic *kaid(s)lo- and *kaidjā- respectively.
