Etymology

Corruption of бандар-лог (bandar-log, “a tribe of monkeys from "The Jungle Book"”), from English Bandar-log, ultimately Hindi बन्दर-लोग (bandar-log, “monkey people”). All the other meanings of this word were influenced by senses 1 and 2. For senses 6 and 7, a blend of банде́ровец (bandérovec, “a Banderite, supporter of Stephan Bandera”) + бандар-ло́г (bandar-lóg, “Bandar-log, a tribe of monkeys from "The Jungle Book"”).
