A walking pace or speed; the normal rate at which someone walks as opposed to running or other faster movement.
From foot + pace (a rate of movement). This term combines Old English 'fōt' with pace (from Latin 'passus,' a step), emerging in medieval times to distinguish walking speed from other forms of movement.
Walking pace is actually not as slow as we think—humans naturally walk at about 3-4 miles per hour, which is why old city streets are designed around that speed; when we make streets for faster traffic, we accidentally make neighborhoods hostile to the natural human pace of life.
