In Old English, "pard" refers to a leopard or a similar large cat. The term is derived from the Latin "pardus," which also denotes a leopard. In medieval literature, "pard" was often used symbolically, representing qualities such as agility and ferocity. The word has largely fallen out of use in modern English.
