Footings

/ˈfʊtɪŋz/ noun

Definition

Plural of footing; the base or foundation of something, literal foot placements, or the condition and grip of surfaces underfoot.

Etymology

From Middle English 'foting,' derived from 'foot' plus '-ing' suffix meaning 'the action or result of.' Footings became especially important in architecture.

Kelly Says

In construction, good footings literally prevent buildings from sinking—architects obsess over footings because they're invisible but absolutely critical, like how good punctuation works in writing.
