Etimology of Band
(You may find band at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).
a flat strip, also “something that binds,” Middle English bende, from Old English bend “bond, fetter, shackle, chain, that by which someone or something is bound; ribbon, ornament, chaplet, crown,” with later senses and spelling from cognate (having the same ancestor) Old Norse band and technical senses from Old French bande “strip, edge, side” (12c., Old North French bende), all three ultimately from Proto-Germanic *bindan, from PIE root *bhendh- “to bind” (see bend (verb)). The meaning “a flat strip” (late 14c.) is from French. In Middle English, this was sometimes distinguished by the spelling bande, bonde, but with loss of terminal -e the words have fully merged via the notion of “flat strip of flexible material used to wind around something.” Meaning “broad stripe of color, ray of colored light” is from late 14c.; the electronics sense of “range of frequencies or wavelengths” is from 1922. Most of the figurative senses (“legal or moral commitment; captivity, imprisonment,” etc.) have passed into bond; this term is also a noun., which originally was a phonetic variant of this band. The Middle English form of the word is retained in heraldic bend (n.2) “broad diagonal stripe on a coat-of-arms.”
