tootsy

Baby talk appendage

Tootsy is a playful, affectionate word for a foot or toe, typically used with children: Let me see those little tootsies.

The term belongs to baby talk and cutesy domestic speech.

Tootsie can also be a familiar term for a woman, now dated and potentially condescending: Hey, tootsie.
