Etymology

From Old Swedish padda, from Old Norse padda. Of uncertain origin, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bed- ‎(“to swell”) (Pok. 96), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- ‎(“to swell”) (Pok. 98-102), which would indicate a Proto-Germanic *paddǭ, and English paddock would possibly indicate the presence of a diminutive *paddukaz. Cognate with Icelandic padda, Danish padde.

Compare English puddle, Old English puduc ‎(“swelling, lump, growth, wart”), Low German puddig ‎(“swollen”).

Noun

padda c
