Where it comes from

Modified from Peds (the name initially chosen for the brand, which was already trademarked), from Latin pedēs (“feet”), plural of pēs (“foot”).

noun Ked

  1. plural, plural normally Plimsolls (canvas shoes with rubber soles) of the American brand Keds. Now for any mid-century boy worth his Keds, mastery of the pea-shooter was a skill on a par with tree fort construction, delivering a satisfactory nuggy, and frying ants with sunshine and a magnifying glass.
