Peitsid is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in the context of Slavic languages and cultural practices. In Estonian, "peitsid" is the plural form of "peits," which translates to "whip" or "lash." These are typically long, flexible implements used for striking. Historically, whips had various applications, including animal control, punishment, and in some contexts, as ceremonial objects. The design and materials of a peits would vary depending on its intended use.

In a different, less common usage, "Peitsid" might appear as a proper noun, such as a surname or a place name, though this is not a widespread or widely recognized designation. The context in which the term is encountered is crucial for determining its precise meaning. Without further clarification, "peitsid" is most commonly understood as the Estonian word for whips. The cultural significance of whips can be found in folklore and historical accounts across various European traditions, often symbolizing authority or power, though their practical uses have largely been superseded by modern alternatives.
