Morphology
pedicure = pedi + cure
The parts correspond to bound Latin elements meaning 'foot' + 'care', but these are not productive standalone English morphemes, so learners may only partially infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pedicure comes from Latin parts ped- meaning 'foot' and cura meaning 'care', and you can see the same ped- in pedal or pedestrian. So a pedicure is 'foot care', which is why it is a treatment for the feet and toenails.
