Pan.do/ra |panˈdôrə| Greek Mythology

the first mortal woman. In one story she was created by Zeus and sent to earth with a jar or box of evils in revenge for Prometheus' having brought the gift of fire back to the world. Pandora let out all the evils from the jar to infect the earth; hope alone remained to assuage the lot of humankind.

ORIGIN from the Greek name Pandōra ‘all-gifted’ (from pan ‘all’ + dōron ‘gift’).

pan.do/ra |panˈdôrə| (also pandora shell or Pandora's box shell)
noun

a burrowing bivalve mollusk with a fragile shell, the unequal valves of which form a “box” with a lid. • Genus Pandora, family Pandoridae.

ORIGIN modern Latin, from Greek pandoura ‘three-stringed lute’ (because of the shell's resemblance to the sound box of a stringed instrument).
