panda

== English == === 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 (“a giant panda”) generally refer to that animal’s distinctive black and white coat colour. ==== Pronunciation ==== (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈpændə/ (General American, Canada, æ-raising) IPA(key): /ˈpændə/, [ˈpʰeə̯ndə] ~ [ˈpʰɛə̯ndə] (Standard Southern British, Northern England, Scotland, Wales) IPA(key): /ˈpandə/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /ˈpæːndə/ (without æ-raising) IPA(key): [ˈpʰæːndə] (æ-raising) IPA(key): [ˈpʰɛːndə] ~ [ˈpʰeːndə] (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈpɛndə/ (India) IPA(key): /ˈpɑːn.ɖɑː/ Rhymes: -ændə Hyphenation: pan‧da Homophone: pander (non-rhotic) ==== Noun ==== panda (plural pandas) (now rare without a qualifying word) The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), a small raccoon-like animal of northeast Asia with reddish fur and a long, ringed tail.
