Definition: To tie; to confine by any ligature.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
We have a tricky word today, “bound,” you see,
And the dictionary gives us quite a decree.
“To tie” it states, "to confine by any ligature,"
Let's break that down with a little bit of mirage!
Ligature
, now that’s a fancy word, don’t you think?
It means something used to bind, link, or shrink.
Like a rope around a package, tight and neat,
Or a bandage holding a wound, oh so sweet!
So “bound” can mean to fasten, hold in place,
Like a book that's bound with cover’s grace.
It can also describe a movement swift and true,
Like “He was bound for adventure, me and you!”
Think of being
bound
by rules, or feeling
bound
by fate,
Or a ship that's
bound
to sail, don't hesitate!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions now? Let’s discuss it together.
