Etymology
Romanian borrowed 'bandă' from French 'bande' during the wave of French loanwords in the 19th century. French 'bande' goes back to Frankish 'binda', from a Proto-Germanic verb meaning to tie or bind. The same Germanic root gave English 'band' and 'bind'. 'Banda' is the definite form of 'bandă', formed by adding the feminine definite article '-a'.
