The word can mean the flags themselves, or the light cloth they are made from. It feels festive and a little old-fashioned; you meet it more in writing about decorations than in everyday chat.

Though actually, another word spelled the same way is a small bird, and in American English “bunting” can also mean a baby’s sleeping bag. Those are different words. This one is the flags.
Though actually不過事實上 another word spelled the same way另一個拼法一樣的字 is a small bird是一種小鳥 and而 in American English在美式英語裡 "bunting" can also mean bunting也可以指 a baby's sleeping bag嬰兒用的睡袋 Those are different words這些是不同的字 This one這個詞條 is the flags指的是旗子
組成Uncertain. It may come from a dialect word for sifting flour — the same light cloth was used for that — from Middle English bonten (“to sift”). Or it may come from a Germanic word about binding or tying things together. Nobody is sure.
