Etymology
Pard is an old or poetic word for a leopard or large wild cat and is the same 'pard' in leopard, so you can remember it as the spotted part of that name. Sometimes people also used pard in old slang as a short form of 'partner' or companion, so it can also appear meaning a friend in older texts.
