The word "heel" has a fascinating origin. It comes from Old English "hēol", which was derived from Proto-Germanic "*hailiz", meaning "foot" or "heel". This Proto-Germanic word is also the source of the Modern English word "heel" as in "the back part of the foot". In medieval English, "heel" referred to the entire foot, rather than just the back part. It wasn't until the 15th century that the term began to specifically refer to the back part of the foot. Today, the word "heel" has many uses, including referring to the back of a shoe, a person who is considered uncooperative or unpleasant, or even the act of tripping or causing someone to fall. I hope that helps!
