Another seasonally appropriate word for people living in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.
aroccha /aˈɾot.tʃa/ boots, by default the full pair; no etymology
I entertained a few etymologies (relating to: foot, leg, to wrap), but nothing was satisfying, so I ultimately decided on an altogether new word.
Mechuhítirë so! Aroccha si relësti re.
me-uhít-irë so! aroccha si rel-ëst-i re
CIS-snow-IPFV ASSEV! boots ACC carry-INCH-IMP PTCL
It's snowing! Put on your boots.
The particle re is used to make imperatives less face-threatening.
Except for an attributive to maybe define the purpose or other qualities of them, there doesn't seem to be much call for special vocabulary around boots.
