How to spell toe

Toe is spelled T-O-E.

What it means: One of the five separate parts at the end of a foot.

In a sentence: I stubbed my big toe on the toy. ▶

Not to be confused with: tow, a different word.

Same family: toes, toeing, toed, toe-in, toe-out. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: The verb “toe” comes from the noun “toe,” originally from Old English “tā,” meaning the digit of the foot. Mechanics later extended the word to describe the angled position of wheels, and from there it developed the specialized sense of driving something at a slight angle.
