Remarks 'Red' from Germanic 'rauthaz' (source of German 'rot', Dutch 'rood', Swedish 'röd', Danish 'rød') from Latin 'ruber, rubeus, russus, rufus', from Greek 'eruthrós, i.e., red, from Indo-European 'reudh-' (p. 435 in Ref. 11979); 'band' from Old Norse 'band', i.e., something that ties or constrains, which replaced Old English 'bend, bond', from Germanic 'bindan' (p. 51 in Ref. 11979).
