📚 Word Origin & History
From Hindi बंग्ली (baṅglī, “glass bracelet”). Unknown, yet probably from bang + -le (frequentative suffix). Apparently from bang (verb) + -le (instrumental suffix), perhaps ultimately connected with Proto-Germanic *bangilaz. Compare Dutch bengel, German Bengel. Borrowed from Javanese banglé, perhaps from an Austroasiatic source (cf. Proto-Mon-Khmer *bnl[iiʔ], Khmer ពន្លៃ (pŭənlɨy)). Doublet of bonglai.
