köken: Possibly from garfa (“animal's claw”), from Andalusian Arabic جَارْفَا (gārfā, “handful”), from Arabic غُرْفَة (ḡurfa, “cup or dipper”), from غَرَفَ (ḡarafa, “to ladle”), with influence from garfio (“hook”). Or, possibly from Vulgar Latin *garra, from Gaulish *garrā (“leg”) (compare Breton gar, Old Irish gairri (“calves”)), from Proto-Celtic *garros; see Cornish garr.
köken: From Byzantine Greek νύχιν (núkhin), inherited from Ancient Greek ὀνύχιον (onúkhion), diminutive of ὄνυξ (ónux), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃negʰ-.
köken: From 足 (ashi, “foot”) + の (no, possessive particle) + 裏 (ura, “backside, underside, inner side”). Contrasts with 足の甲 (ashi no kō, “the top of the foot, the instep”). Compare 手の裏 (te no ura, “palm of the hand”), contrasting with 手の甲 (te no kō, “back of the hand”).
köken: First attested in the Gugeupbang eonhae (救急方諺解 / 구급방언해), 1466, as Middle Korean 밠톱 (Yale: pal-s-thwop). From 발 (bal) + 톱 (top, also found in 손톱 (sontop, “fingernail”)).

köken: From *glara, possibly from German Kralle, following metathesis, or alternatively possibly a substratum word; another theory is that it perhaps derives from a hypothetical intermediate *înghiare, from a Vulgar Latin root *unglaris < *ungularis, from Latin ungula.

Alternatively, borrowed from Frankish *patta, from Proto-Germanic *pat-, *paþa- (“to walk, tread, go, step”), of uncertain origin and relation, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pent-, *(s)pat- (“path; to walk”), a variant of *pent-, *pat- (“path; to go”).
