There's a slight difference between the two words. "Pandemic" means an outbreak (usually a disease) that spreads across the entire planet. An "epidemic" is an outbreak or occurrence that spreads more quickly than what's expected. It doesn't necessarily have to affect the entire globe. Both are usually pretty bad in any case.

pandemic is an epidemic( or the outbreak and spreading of disease) throughout the world or over a very large area
So.....a pandemic is a very large epidemic to simplify it more.

Pan comes from the word Panic.

Epidemic is something that is spread in an area that is contained or limited by geography or a community or a state and is usually treatable if not a vaccine for prevention like the flu shots we get each yr. A pandemic is worldwide and is of a great proportion. More people are sick and die without a way to stop it, no vaccine to prevent it no cure if you get it. It can kill millions of people and not be controlled by medicine or borders.
