Etymology of LEPARD

The word "leopard" can be traced back to the late Old English word "leoparde", which originally referred to the large carnivorous feline found in Africa and Asia. However, its etymology goes further back to the Late Latin word "leopardus", which was borrowed from the Greek word "leopardos". "Leopardos" was a combination of "leōn" (lion) and "pardos" (panther), indicating that the leopard was considered a hybrid or crossbreed of these two big cats. The Greek word "pardos" was derived from the Old Persian word "parda". Through various borrowings and adaptations, the word eventually made its way into English as "leopard" and has retained its original meaning.
