词源：
sole (n.1)”bottom of the human foot” (“technically, the planta, corresponding to the palm of the hand,” Century Dictionary), early 14c., from Old French sole, from Vulgar Latin *sola, from Latin solea “sandal, bottom of a shoe; a flatfish,” from solum “bottom, ground, foundation, lowest point of a thing” (hence “sole of the foot”), a word of uncertain origin.
De Vaan has it from a PIE *se/ol-o- “place, habitation, human settlement,” with cognates in Lithuanian sala “island, field surrounded by meadows, village;” Old Church Slavonic selo “field, courtyard, village,” obsolete Polish siolo, Russian selo “village;” Old High German sal “habitation, room;” Old Norse salr “hall, room, house.”
In English, the meaning “bottom of a shoe or boot” is from late 14c.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
鞋底 (n.1)“人脚的底部”（“从技术上讲，足底，对应于手掌，”世纪词典），14 世纪早期，源自古法语鞋底，源自通俗拉丁语 *sola，源自拉丁语solea“凉鞋，鞋底；比目鱼”，来自 solum“底部，地面，基础，物体的最低点”（因此“脚底”），这个词的起源不确定。 De Vaan 源自 PIE *se/ol-o-“地方、居住地、人类住区”，与立陶宛语 sala 中的同源词“岛屿、被草地包围的田野、村庄；”古教会斯拉夫语 selo“田野、庭院、村庄”，已废弃的波兰语 siolo，俄语 selo“村庄”；古高地德语 sal “居住地，房间；”古挪威语 salr “大厅、房间、房子”。在英语中，“鞋子或靴子的底部”的意思来自 14 世纪末。相关条目及更多
