Definitions and meaning of panda
panda
Etymology 1
Borrowed from Frenchpanda, 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 Nepaliनिँगाले(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 Tibetanཕོ་ཉ(pho nya, “messenger”)).
Attributive uses of sense 2 (“giant panda”) generally refer to that animal’s distinctive black and white coat colour.
