Correct spelling for the English word "jeopards" is [d͡ʒˈɛpədz], [dʒˈɛpədz], [dʒ_ˈɛ_p_ə_d_z] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
The word "jeopards" does not have well-documented etymology as it is not a standard English word. However, it appears to be a variation or misspelling of the word "jeopardize". "Jeopardize" comes from the Middle English word "jeuparten", which means "to put in danger" or "to risk". It originated from the Old French phrase "jeu parti", meaning "evenly divided game" or "an equal chance". The term "jeu parti" was used in medieval English law to refer to a situation where the outcome of a legal trial or dispute was uncertain. Over time, "jeu parti" shortened to "jeopard" and later developed into the current English word "jeopardize". It is possible that "jeopards" is a less common variant of "jeopardize", but its usage is not widespread or recognized.
