New page

There are at least three separate [[verb]] forms '''bound'''. Do not confuse these.
*'''Bound''' can be the [[past tense]] and the [[past participle]] of the [[Bind (irregular verb)|irregular verb 'to bind']]. This means 'to tie'.
*It is also the [[present tense]] of different regular verbs:
**'to '''bound'''<nowiki>'</nowiki> (''[[OED]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s '''''v.'''''<sup>2</sup>) means 'to jump up' or 'along'. This can be [[literal]] (horses are often said to '''bound''' along) or [[figurative]], as when someone's spirits, or mood, is said to '''bound''' up. (This verb is connected [[etymology|etymological]]ly with 're'''bound'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>.)
**'to '''bound'''<nowiki>'</nowiki> is also a [[verb]] whose general meaning is 'to set a limit to', or 'mark the '''bound'''aries of'. (This verb (''[[OED]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s '''''v.'''''<sup>1</sup>) is connected [[etymology|etymological]]ly with '''bound'''ary.)
:::Both of these, being [[regular verb]]s, have past forms, both past tense and past participle, '''bound<big>ed</big>'''.
*Some [[participial adjective]]s '''bound''' also exist. They form perhaps the commonest use of the word in spoken [[Present-day English]].
**The first is the [[-ed participle]] of the obsolete verb ''boun'', of which the general sense was 'to make ready', 'to prepare' or 'to dress'. Hence '''bound''' means 'ready'. From this there is a special sense:
***'ready', or 'set on', 'aiming at', a particular destination. This is common when saying where a ship is going: "She is London (or homeward) '''bound'''"; a ship leaving London may be 'foreign '''bound'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>.
**The [[participial adjective]] of 'to 'bind' (~ 'tied') also has special meanings. Some belong to particular contexts:
***People who work outdoors, or live in rural areas, may be '''weather-bound''', or 'tied' to the house by rainstorms, etc. Sailing ships used on occasion to be '''wind-bound''', that is, 'tied' to harbour by a wind that was not favourable to departure.
***The pages of books re 'tied' into a binding, or '''bound''', as in '''leather-bound''' or '''paper-bound''' (nowadays, usually 'paperback'.
***There is also a most common [[figurative]] meaning. This appears to have been influenced by the above [[participle]] of ''boun''. ''[[OED]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s meaning '''7.'''is: "'''a.'''Under obligations (of duty, gratitude, etc.); Const. a person, or the duty owed; '''b.''' Having entered into a contract binding to service, as â€˜a bound apprenticeâ€™; '''c.''' With ''inf''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[infinitive|initive]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>.: Compelled, obliged; under necessity (esp. logical or moral); fated, certain; also in ''U.S.'' determined, resolved (sc. to go, etc.).
