One way to hold this word: one loop of material going round the narrowest part of your arm. The loop itself never changes — only the reason it is there. Give it towelling and it drinks sweat; print a name on it and it tells staff who you are; hang a watch on it and it does the holding; make it pretty and it just sits there looking good; it onto a sleeve and it closes the shirt.
可以想成這樣一個畫面：一圈材料繞過你手臂最細的地方。那一圈本身從來沒變，變的只是它為什麼在那裡。換成厚棉布，它就吸汗；印上名字，它就告訴人你是誰；接上一支錶，它就負責固定；做得好看一點，它就只是好看；縫在袖子末端，它就把襯衫收起來。
From the word’s history
From wrist plus band: a band for the wrist. The word is built from two everyday words, so its shape is visible in the name itself.
來自 wrist（手腕）加 band（帶子），就是「手腕上的帶子」。這個字是兩個常見字疊起來造的，所以名字本身已經把形狀說完了；後來每一個用法，都只是替這一圈帶子換一個任務。
