The word "Panzer" /ˈpænzər/ (German pronunciation: [ˈpantsɐ] ⓘ) is a German word that means "armour" or specifically "tank". It derives through the French word pancier, "breastplate", from Latin pantex, "belly".[1]

It is occasionally used in English and some other languages as a loanword in the context of the German military.[citation needed]
