Best Answer

Leopard has worked its way down from the Sanskrit work, prdakuh, which meant panther-tiger. They believed leopards came from a cross of the two. The word was later adapted by the Greeks into leopardos, which meant male panther. This turned into the Late Latin leopardus, which meant part lion. In the 13th century, this word had made into Old French as lebard. It was modern French that turned this into léopard, which is what is used today.
