A person whose job is to apply bandages to wounds or injuries on people.
From bandage (from French bande) plus the agent suffix -er. The word emerged in the 19th century as medical care became more specialized and professional.
Medieval battlefield surgeons had assistants specifically trained in wrapping wounds quickly — they were essential because infections from dirty wounds killed more soldiers than actual battle injuries!
