A game played with a ball and curved sticks, similar to hockey or field hockey.
From bandy (to strike back and forth, or the curved sticks used) + ball. Bandy comes from Old French meaning to exchange or toss back and forth.
Bandy is still played in ice and field versions in parts of Eastern Europe and Asia, and it's possibly older than hockey—medieval manuscripts show people playing versions of this stick-and-ball game.
