The answer

PEDAL

What pedal means

A foot-operated lever on a vehicle, musical instrument, or machine that you press down to control its operation or produce a desired effect.

Where the word comes from

From Latin pedalis, meaning "of the foot," derived from pes (foot). The word entered Middle English and Old French as pedal, originally describing anything relating to the foot. It later came to mean a lever operated by the foot, as in organ pedals or bicycle pedals, since such devices are literally worked with the feet.
