Where this word comes from
Historically, from Medieval Latin bannimus (“we banish, we expel”), from bannō, bandō (“denounce, ban, banish, proclaim, proscribe”, verb), influenced in meaning by bannum (“ordinance, ban”), from Frankish *bannjan (“to proclaim, order or prohibit under penalty”), from Proto-Germanic *bannijaną (“to curse, damn”), *bannaną (“to request”). Cognate with Old High German bannen (“to order under penalty, proscribe, cast a spell on”), ban (“order under penalty”). More at ban.
