The Latin noun "passus" comes from Old Latin "padtus" by the regular
sound change "-dt-" > "-ss-" . That is, "pad-" stretch" with suffix
"-t-" denoting verbal action (the stretch of the legs in walking).
The
verb "pandere", stretch, bend (PP "passus") is cognate. "Pad-" and
"pand-" apparently come from PIE "*pandos", bent (as does Old Norse
fattr).

Wouldn't *pedtus seems a more sensible term for walking?

If you're meaning PIE *ped-tus, where *ped- means fall, the Latin
derivative pessus means "on the ground".

The PIE root *ped- means fall (> Sanskrit padyate, falls, OCS pado, I
fall, Russian padat', to fall ) and also foot (> *pedom, footprint,
track > Latin peda, sole, footprint, Sanskrit padam, track, OCS podu,
ground, and Russian pod, hearth -- also the preposition pod, under, I
suspect).

It seems to me that PIE *pa(n)d- and *ped- (and also *pent, find one's
way) were different roots, and that the resemblances in form and meaning
of many of their derivatives is coincidental. But maybe some of the
experts around here could comment on this.

I would say that these words go back to an Aurigniacian
group of words (- when Homo sapiens sapiens, coming
from Anatolia, reached the Franco-Cantabrian space):

PAD --- activity of feet; to pad, to pad along, pad pad
pad pad ... (onomatopoetic), ancient Greek pous podoi
Latin pes pedes Italian piede piedi French pied pieds
German Fuss Fuesse English foot feet

DAP (inverse of pad) --- activity of hands; to tap,
French tapper for to tap, beat, Taape for hand in
my dialect (a loan from French or an old word?)

PAS (comparative of pad) --- everywhere in a plain:
here, south and north of me, east and west of me,
all in all five places; ancient Greek pas pan for all,
every, penta for five, Sanskrit pathi for path, German
Pass originally meant a narrow passage in a gorge
(water always finds a way)

SAP (inverse of pas) --- everywhere in space: here,
south and north of me, east and west of me, under
and above me, all in all seven places; origin of the
number seven in many languages, Latin sapientia
for knowledge of the world

According to Peter T. Daniels, the name of David
is one of the oldest 'chestnuts' of Hebrew philology.
Here is my explanation: DA PAD --- away from (da)
activity of feet (pad), delivered from the paw of
the lion, delivered from the paw of the (cave) bear,
delivered from the hand of the armed man, here
the towering Philistine Goliath ... Also the name of
Poseidon is an unsolved problem. Poseidon was
originally the god of the rivers, the creator of the
horse, and the shaker of the earth. Here is my
explanation: PAS TON --- he who gets everywhere
(pas), always finding a way, overcoming every
obstacle as water does, and makes himself heard
(ton) wherever he comes to ...

Poster Holly identified my PAS with a sign in the
Brunel chamber of the Chauvet cave, a domino five,
or the five on a dice, while the additional dot next to
the upper right dot of the five can be read as CA for
the sky:

O O O CA
O
O O PAS

PAS CA --- may the supreme ruler (bison man)
be reborn by the goddess among the stars of
the Summer Triangle Deneb - Vega - Atair
(drawing on the stalactite of the rear hall)
and roam the sky in his next life as he roams
the land in this life ...

A further potential PAS hieroglyph can be found
in the cave Pech Merle (Gravettian); pictures on
the website given below.
