Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Sanskrit द्वीपिन् (dvīpin).[1] Although formally and etymologically synchronically analysable as dīpa (“island”) + -in, this may not have affected the sense.

dīpin m
- leopard
- 1937, A.P. Buddhadatta, New Pali Course (Part I), Key to Exercise 23:
- Ayaṃ dīpi sanikaṃ āgantvā sahasā gāviyā upari pati.
