toed

Drove nails aslant

Toed describes something having toes, usually with a modifier indicating number or type: five-toed sloth, open-toed sandals, pigeon-toed gait.

In construction, toed refers to nails driven at an angle: toed nailing.

To toe a line is to conform to rules or expectations, making toed the past tense: They toed the party line.
