Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French noun 'bande' meaning strip or band, combined with the suffix '-age'. It entered Middle English in the late 15th century originally referring to a strip of material used to bind a wound, eventually evolving into both a noun for the medical strip and a verb for the action of applying it.
