Best Answer

Panther is the English equivalent of 'panthera'. Lynx is the English equivalent of 'onca'. The Latin noun 'panthera' comes from the older, classical Greek for 'all beast'. The Greek in turn may come from the Sanskrit 'pundarikam', which means 'tiger'. The Portuguese and Spanish 'onca' means 'ounce'. But the word traces back to the classical Latin language of the ancient Romans. The original word is the noun 'lyncea', which means 'lynx'.
