Etymology

From Middle High German bant, from Old High German bant, from Proto-West Germanic *band n or m, from Proto-Germanic *bandą ~ *bandaz (“band, bond”), derived from *bindaną (“to bind”). The noun was neuter in most of High German, but masculine in Low German (see Middle Low German bant m) and parts of West Central German. The lexicalisation of this northern usage in the sense “volume” dates from the 17th century.
