You can hold bound as three different words that happen to share a spelling. The biggest one is the past of 'bind' — something tied up with rope so it can't move freely; from that 'tied' feeling grow 'certain to happen', 'obligated', and even 'heading toward one place'. A second bound is a big springy leap. A third is a boundary line — the edge or limit of a space.

可以想成:bound 其實是三個剛好同拼字的詞擠在一起。最主要的一個是 bind(綁)的過去式——東西被繩子綁住、動彈不得;從這個「被綁住」的感覺,長出「一定會發生」「有義務」甚至「正開往某地」。第二個 bound 是用力的一蹦一跳。第三個 bound 是邊界線——一塊空間的邊緣或上限。三者拼字相同,但是不同的字,最好分開記。原始詞典資料22 筆記錄
