'binder' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'bindan,' where 'bind-' meant 'to tie or fasten.'

'bindan' transformed into the Middle English word 'binden,' and eventually became the modern English word 'binder.'

Initially, it meant 'to tie or fasten,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a cover for holding papers or a substance that holds materials together.'
