band

他動詞[C/U] 両方

複数形: bands過去形: banded過去分詞: banded現在分詞: banding

The word evokes a sense of cohesion and binding, whether physical or social. When referring to people, it suggests a tight-knit, often informal or adventurous group, carrying a stronger sense of shared identity than a simple group or team. In a technical or material sense, it describes a restrictive or defining border. This duality allows the word to transition seamlessly from the tactile feeling of a rubber strap to the invisible boundaries of a radio frequency.

Countable when referring to a musical group or a physical strap. Uncountable when referring to a specific range of frequencies in physics.
