With the feet leading or going first; feet in the forward direction, as when diving or falling.
From 'feet' (Old English 'fēt', plural of 'fōt') + 'first' (Old English 'fyrest'). This compound is essentially interchangeable with 'feet-first' and follows logical English word order.
Feet-first diving creates interesting physics—it's actually slower than head-first diving because of water resistance, so if you're jumping into danger, go feet-first for safety, not speed!
