Kaušpėdas

Cf. lit. Káuš-padas, Káuš-padis, Káuš-pedas (see). Apparently, the nickname surn. Its second root foot- (pad-) is probably related to lit. foot „apatinė kojos dalis, letena“, cf. pãdas „kojos pėdos apačia“ (DLKŽ). The origin of the first sand bucket also raises doubts. But perhaps the most reliable would be to associate him with Lieut. káušas (see Káušas) - foot-shaped or similar. sense.
