Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de anglès mitjà: riban

Cognat amb francès: ruban

Cognat amb anglès: band

Cognat amb neerlandès mitjà: ringhband

In summary

From Middle English riban, ryban, ryband, from Old French riban, ruban ( > modern French ruban), of uncertain origin. Likely from a Germanic compound whose second element is cognate with English band. Compare Middle Dutch ringhband (“necklace”, literally “ring-band”).
