Where does “bangle” come from?

I need to trace this chain carefully, but I notice there's a problem: the chain provided shows "bang" connecting to various suffixes (-el, -ol, -lós), but the headword is "bangle" and its meaning is unknown. Looking at the chain structure, it appears to show: - English bang - Middle English -el - Old English -el - Old English -ol - Proto-Indo-European bʰen- - Proto-Indo-European -lós This chain seems to be tracking a suffix rather than the full word "bangle." However, I'm asked to write about "bangle" as the headword. Given that the meaning is marked as unknown and I must state only what the chain supports, I should note this inconsistency prevents me from writing an accurate summary. However, if I work with what's given—that bangle derives from components traceable through this chain—
