pedicure
Other forms: pedicures; pedicured
A pedicure is a treatment for your feet that feels good and usually leaves you with brightly painted toenails.
You might have a pedicure as part of a visit to a spa — your toenails will be trimmed, filed, and polished, and your feet might even be massaged. When the attention is focused on your toes, it's a pedicure, while the same kind of treatment on your hands and fingernails is called a manicure. The word pedicure has Latin roots: ped, or "foot," and curare, "to care for."
