Morphology

breastband = breast + band (transparent) = breast + band

The meaning is directly the combination of 'breast' (chest) and 'band' (strip/strap), a band placed at the breast area.

Etymology

Breastband is made of breast ('chest') and band ('strip' or 'belt'). So it simply means a strip that goes around the chest to support or shape the breasts.
