different between panda vs panga

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 ??????? (n?g?le, “relating to a certain species of bamboo”) (the adjectival form of ??????? (n?g?lo), a variant of ?????? (ni??lo, “Drepanostachyum intermedium, a species of bamboo”)) + a regional Tibetan name for the animal (compare regional Tibetan ???? (pho nya, “messenger”)).

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