The English word "leopard" derives from the Greek word "pardos." In ancient Greek, "pardos" referred to a type of spotted animal, which in later usage came to denote the leopard specifically. The term combines with the Greek "leo," meaning lion, to form the word "leopard," highlighting its feline characteristics.
