The Piel imperfect vattə-p̄aškî {וַתְּפַשְּׂקִי֥ | vattə-p̄aškî} ‘you spread’ paired with raglayich {רַגְלַיִ֖ךְ | ră-ḡᵊl·yêḵ} functions as a metaphor for sexual availability.
In context — Ezekiel 16:25
At every head of the way you built your high place, and you caused your beauty to be abhorred, and you spread your feet to every passerby, and you multiplied your harlotries .
