Definitions and meaning of panda

panda

Etymology 1

Borrowed from French panda, of unclear ultimate origin but probably from the second element of nigálya-pónya, a local name for the red panda recorded in Nepal and Sikkim by Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800 or 1801 – 1894), an ethnologist, naturalist and the British Resident of Nepal, possibly from Nepali निँगाले (nĩgāle, relating to a certain species of bamboo) (the adjectival form of निँगालो (nĩgālo), a variant of निङालो (niṅālo, Drepanostachyum intermedium, a species of bamboo)) + a regional Tibetan name for the animal (compare regional Tibetan ཕོ་ཉ (pho nya, messenger)).

Attributive uses of sense 2 (“giant panda”) generally refer to that animal’s distinctive black and white coat colour.
