World English Historical Dictionary Dictionary Biographies Literary Criticism Welcome Terms of Service ⧏ Previous Next ⧐ Contents Slice Contents Key Bibliographic Record Murray’s New English Dictionary. 1888, rev. 2024. Ban sb. Forms: 3– ban; 3–7 banne, 4–6 bane, 9 bann. [Partly a. OF. ban, with influence of med.L. bannum; partly from BAN v. Ultimately all these go back to the same source; F. ban ‘proclamation, publication, summons, proscription, outlawry, banishment, assemblage of military vassals’ was:—late L. bannum, ad. Teut. (OHG., MHG., OS., OFris., MDu.) bann, ban, sb. ‘proclamation commanding or forbidding under threat or penalty,’ f. bann-an to BAN. The simple sb. bann does not appear in OE., which had however ʓebann, rare ME. IBAN ‘proclamation, edict,’ f. the deriv. ʓebannan. The ON. bann ‘excommunication, interdict, prohibition, curse,’ seems too late to have been the source of the Eng. But, as OE. had the vb. bannan, ban from OF. easily assumed the position of its vbl. sb., and the two words, with the med.L. bannum, -us, in its various legal and ecclesiastical uses, subseq. re-acted upon each other, so that the development of sense is complicated.]
