Etymology

The word 'bounding' originates from the Middle English 'bunden', which comes from the Old English 'bindan', meaning to bind or tie. Its roots can be traced back through the Germanic languages, with cognates in Old High German 'bintan' and Old Norse 'binda'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the notion of movement as well as restriction, leading to its current usages. The adjective form 'bounding' developed from the verb and began to embody not just physical limitation but also a metaphorical sense of energetic movement or expression, reflecting the dynamic nature of the word.
