OriginEarly 16th century (as a noun): from French bond (noun), bondir (verb) 'resound', later 'rebound', from late Latin bombitare, from Latin bombus 'humming'. The word bound meaning to ‘leap’ and rebound (Late Middle English) are from French bondir ‘resound’, later ‘rebound’, which went back to Latin bombus ‘humming’, and is thus related to bomb.

Bound (Middle English) in the sense of ‘bound for, heading towards’ is from an Old Norse word; while bound (Late Middle English) in the sense of ‘under an obligation’ as in duty bound is simply a past form of bind.
