Forms:

α. 1500s– pandora, 1700s pandola (irregular).

β. 1600s– pandore.

γ. 1700s pandure.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Italian pandora; French pandore.

Etymology: Partly < Italian pandora (1541; compare α. forms), and partly < French pandore (1519 in Middle French; compare β. forms), both ultimately < classical Latin pandūra three-stringed lute (see pandoura n.). Compare bandore n.¹The Italian and French forms denoted various types of lute, but the precise sense development apparently occurred within English. With the form pandola at α. forms perhaps compare Italian regional (Naples) pandola or Spanish bandola (see bandore n.¹). With the γ. forms compare pandoura n.

Early Music. Now historical.

A musical instrument similar to a lute, with metal strings set in pairs and a scalloped body. Cf. bandore n.¹
