▪ I. pander, n.|ˈpændə(r)|
Also 6– pandar, 6–7 pandare, pandor.
[Properly pandar, orig. Pandare, Eng. of AFr. form of L. Pandarus, Gr. Πάνδαρος, a proper name used by Boccaccio (in form Pandaro), and after him by Chaucer in Troilus and Criseyde, as that of the man fabled to have procured for Troilus the love and good graces of Chryseis, name and character being alike of mediæval invention: see Skeat Chaucer II. Introd. lxiii-iv. The later spelling pander is due, no doubt, to association with agent-ns. and freq. vbs. in -er.]
