▪ I. † ˈbandon, -oun, n. Obs.
Forms: 3 bandun, baundune, 3–5 bandom, 3–7 bandon, 4 baundoun, 4–5 baundon, 4–6 bandoun(e, 5 bandum, 5–6 bandone.
[a. OF. bandon, bandun, ‘public proclamation, ban, jurisdiction, authority, disposal, discretion, license’ = Pr. bandon, f. (through a deriv. form *bando -ōnem) late L. band-um = bann-um ‘public proclamation, edict, interdict,’ ad. Teut. bann: see ban n.1 There was a confusion in Romanic between bannum and bandum: Du Cange shows bannum for bandum, banner, as well as bandum for bannum ‘edict’; cf. banish, bandit, banner, banderole. (There is no etymological connexion in Teutonic between bann, bann-an, and bandwa token, bandwjan to signify.)]
Jurisdiction, authority, dominion, control; power of disposal, full discretion, or authority to deal with. to be in or at any one's bandon: to be under his control, at his disposal, will, or pleasure. To have a thing in one's bandon: at one's full or free disposal.

Scot. III. 181 Wnder his bandoun think I neuir to be. 1611Cotgr., Abandon, bandon..full libertie for others to use a thing.
Hence the F. and ME. phr. a bando(u)n, in control, at one's disposal; also, at one's own free will, freely, unrestrainedly; whence the vb. abandonn-er = mettre à bandon: see abandon.
