Etymology
'bandlimit' originates from modern English, specifically as a compound of 'band' + 'limit' formed for technical use in electronics and signal processing.
'bandlimit' arose in 20th-century technical usage often written as the hyphenated form 'band-limit' and later solidified in technical writing as 'bandlimit' (noun) and 'to bandlimit' (verb).
Initially it meant 'to set or define limits on a frequency band'; over time this technical sense has remained the core meaning and continues to denote restricting a signal to a frequency band.
