noun

Etymology: From club + foot.

  1. A congenital deformity of the foot in which the ankle, heel and toes are twisted.

    At his lower extremities, he exhibited the deformity which is popularly known as "a club-foot." But he carried his lameness, as he carried his years, gayly.

    He stood still as much as he could, with his club-foot behind the other, so that it should not attract notice.
