While "paedophile" is the standard spelling in the British Commonwealth (and "pedophile" is the standard spelling in North America), the slang term "pedo" is commonly used in North America and Australia. This is because in Australian English, the British spelling and the American pronunciation are used. In the United Kingdom, "paedo" is a more common slang term.
From ped-(“foot”) + -ō(noun-forming suffix). Found only in late glosses. Replaced the Classical equivalent pedĕs, since the latter was at risk of homophony with pedēs("feet", and other inflections thereof) due to ongoing sound changes in the vernacular.[1] Romance inherited sense 1, often with transferred meanings like 'footsoldier', 'peasant'.
