a part of a body that has a structure to support weight and enable motion

Foot (noun) means: a part of a body that has a structure to support weight and enable motion. It emerges from part, structure, matter, body: matter forms a part of a body where arrangement and internal relations support weight and enable motion by providing structural integrity and facilitation. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 19, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
