Could you provide more context or examples of how you've seen this suffix used?
For example, are you referring to:
* "Pan-" as a prefix? This is a common prefix meaning "all" or "everything," as in "pandemic" (affecting all) or "panorama" (a view of everything).
* "Span" as a word? This refers to a period of time or a distance.
* A specific word ending in "-pan"?
Once you provide more information, I can help you understand the meaning of the suffix or word you're interested in.
