Origin

Middle English: perhaps originally from Old English byndelle 'a binding', reinforced by Low German and Dutch bundel (to which byndelle is related).

Bundle may come from Old English byndelle ‘a binding’. In the mid 18th century anatomists and physiologists started using the Old English word ‘bundle’ for a set of muscle or nerve fibres running in parallel. The phrase a bundle of nerves is common in US sources from the 1880s. The phrase to go a bundle on someone or something, or be very fond of them, comes from the world of betting and horse racing. Bundle is a slang term for ‘a large sum of money’, first used in the US around 1880. If a person ‘goes a bundle on a horse’ they bet a lot of money on it.
