apavs

Etymology
From the same stem as the verb : >. The original meaning, probably “bandage,” “covering (cloth),” was already often connected to footwear in 17th- and 18th-century texts, though not obligatorily (cf. expressions like  “foot ” in folk tales). Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1) footwear shoes, boots, sandals, etc.

Usage notes
Latvian is more frequently used than English  and is often better translated as  (cf. Russian ); the term, usually "leg", "foot", is less frequently used as a synonym. Note also that the plural forms (, etc.) are much more frequently used than the singular forms (, etc.)
