A pseudo-Nambu Goldstone Boson (pNGB) arising from the breaking of a global symmetry ($G\rightarrow H$) can be one of the most promising candidates for the quintessence model, to explain the late-time acceleration of our universe. Motivated from the Composite Higgs scenario, we have investigated the case where the pNGB associated with $SO(N)/ SO(N-1)$ develops a potential through its couplings with the particles that do not form the complete representations of $G$. The Coleman Weinberg (CW) potential is generated via the external particles in the loop which are linked with the strongly interacting dynamics and can be computed predicatively. The model of Dark Energy (DE) is tested against several latest cosmological observations such as supernovae data of Pantheon, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), Redshift-space distortion (RSD) data, etc. We have found that the fit prefers the sub-Planckian value of the pNGB field decay constant. Moreover, we have found that the model predicts cosmological parameters well within the allowed range of the observation and thus gives a well-motivated model of quintessence.
