A band or stripe; possibly an archaic or dialectal term for a binding or decorative band, though its exact meaning is obscure.
Origin uncertain; possibly from awe (an old form of 'band') or a variant of 'armband.' The word is so rare that even historical dictionaries offer little guidance on its etymology.
Some words are so rare they virtually disappear from history—'aweband' exists in a few old texts but its meaning is lost, making it a linguistic ghost.
