'neckband' originates from the combination of 'neck' and 'band', where 'neck' refers to the part of the body connecting the head to the rest of the body, and 'band' refers to a strip of material.

'neckband' has remained relatively unchanged in its form and meaning since its inception in the English language.

Initially, it meant a band worn around the neck, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
