'unbanded' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'banded' from Old English 'bændan', meaning 'to bind'.

'unbanded' changed from the Old English word 'bændan' and eventually became the modern English word 'unbanded'.

Initially, it meant 'not bound or tied with a band', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not having a band or bands'.
