Sanskrit pada is a cognate with Latin ped, which we see pop up in english quite often. For example pedestrians, centipede, etc, are all examples of ped. Pada, unsurprisingly, means foot/leg in Sanskrit. We see this pada in pose names such as padahastāsana (foot-to-hand pose, a forward fold) or eka pada bakāsana (one leg crane pose).
