- The pages of books are 'tied' into a binding, or bound, as in leather-bound or paper-bound (nowadays in British English, usually 'paperback'). These may be prepared by a binder (person, or nowadays a machine) in a bindery (place of work);
- There is also a most common figurative meaning. This appears to have been influenced by the above participle of bound. OED's meaning 7.is: "a.Under obligations (of duty, gratitude, etc.); Const[ruction] a person, or the duty owed; b. Having entered into a contract binding to service, as 'a bound apprentice'; c. With inf[initive].: Compelled, obliged; under necessity (esp. logical or moral); fated, certain; also in U.S. determined, resolved (sc. to go, etc.).
