Etymology From thumb + toe, perhaps a re-modelling of Middle English thombletō, thummeltō, probably from Old Norse þumaltá (“big-toe”).

“The thumb-toe and the pinky-toe, I think. He still has his three middle ones.” “They're not called the thumb-toe and pinkytoe,” said Stuart. “It's big toe and little toe.”2000, Louis Sachar, Super Fast, Out of Control!:
