Origin

Middle English: variant of band¹.

band from Old English:
A band in the sense ‘a strip of something’ comes from the same Germanic root as bind (Old English) and bond (Middle English). Bend is a variant found in bend sinister (early 17th century), a broad diagonal stripe from top right to bottom left of a shield, a supposed sign of bastardy. Bandage (late 16th century) and bandbox (mid 17th century), now a box for carrying hats, but originally for carrying neckbands, come from this word. In early use a band in the sense ‘a group’, usually consisted of armed men, robbers, or assassins. The first groups of musicians called a band (in the 17th century) were attached to regiments of the army. Banner (Middle English) is related. A bandwagon (mid 19th century) was a wagon used for carrying the band in a parade or procession. The word now occurs more often in phrases such as to jump on the bandwagon. This use developed in America in the late 19th century.

Origin Middle English: variant of band¹. band from Old English: A band in the sense ‘a strip of something’ comes from the same Germanic root as bind (Old English) and bond (Middle English). Bend is a variant found in bend sinister (early 17th century), a broad diagonal stripe from top right to bottom left of a shield, a supposed sign of bastardy.

Example sentencesExamples For example, electrons in a covalent bond are assigned to the more electronegative atom. At the heart of these intermolecular interactions are weak bonds between a hydrogen atom on one water molecule and an oxygen atom on another. Less energy is required to melt a solid than is needed to break the bonds in the molecules. The electrons that are shared by the atoms to form the bond belong to one of these molecular orbitals. New compounds are formed when the atoms within the molecule form a chemical bond. To complete an octet, each oxygen must share two electrons in a covalent bond. With the exception of hydrogen (blessed with a single electron), an atom cannot use all its electrons to form bonds. In hydrolysis these two ions are forced into the bond between the large molecules. The moment of inertia is related to the mass of the molecule's atoms and to the bond distance. Pairs of electrons that are not shared in covalent bonds are lone pairs. Opposing this tendency is the covalent bond holding the HCl molecule together. To overcome the bonds that are present between the sodium and chloride ions and the bonds that are present between the water molecules, energy is needed. A chemical reaction is simply breaking bonds between atoms and making new ones. Central to his image of science were the arrangements of atoms in molecules, and the bonds that held them together.
