Word origin

The term 'boundaried' is derived from the noun 'boundary', which originates from the Middle English word 'boundarie' and has roots in Old French 'bonde', meaning a limit or border. In the context of psychology and personal relationships, the word has evolved to signify not just physical borders but also emotional and psychological limits established in interpersonal dynamics. In recent years, particularly within therapeutic and self-help communities, the concept of being boundaried has gained traction, emphasizing the importance of understanding and respecting personal limits to foster healthier relationships.
