The term “Pandas” in the context of data analysis and manipulation refers to a software library in Python. The name “Pandas” is derived from “Panel Data,” which is a term used in econometrics and statistics to describe multidimensional data sets. However, it is often simply referred to as “Pandas” without the need for a full form in common usage. The library provides data structures and functions that make it easier to work with structured data, such as DataFrames and Series.
