Strongly frustrated magnetism of the metallic pyrochlore oxide Pr2Ir2O7 has been revealed by single crystal study. While Pr 4f moments have an antiferromagnetic RKKY interaction energy scale of |T*|=20K mediated by Ir 5d-conduction electrons, no magnetic long-range order is found except for partial spin freezing at 120mK. Instead, the Kondo effect, including a lnT dependence in the resistivity, emerges and leads to a partial screening of the moments below |T*|. Our results indicate that the underscreened moments show spin-liquid behavior below a renormalized correlation scale of 1.7K.
