Accepted Answer

A doctor who treats injuries and diseases of the foot.

So today we have an entire medical specialty devoted to feet. In the U.S., a podiatrist is a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.), who is licensed to perform surgery. The root pod- comes from the Greek word for “foot” (compare PED). But in England a foot doctor is often called a chiropodist, a term that dates from the time when the same specialist treated hands as well, since chiro- means “hand.
