BOUNCING
a.Stout; strong; large and heavy; a customary sense in the United States; as a bouncing lass.
BOUNCINGLY
adv. Boastingly.
BOUND
n. 1. A limit; the line which comprehends the whole of any given object or space. It differs from boundary. See the latter. Bound is applied to kingdoms, states, cities, towns, tracts of land, and to territorial jurisdiction.
2. A limit by which any excursion is restrained; the limit of indulgence or desire; as, the love of money knows no bounds.
3. A leap; a spring; a jump; a rebound.
4. In dancing, a spring from one foot to the other.
BOUND
v.t.To limit; to terminate; to fix the furthest point of extension, whether of natural or moral objects, as of land, or empire, or of passion, desire, indulgence. Hence, to restrain or confine; as, to bound our wishes. To bound in is hardly legitimate. 1. To make to bound.
BOUND
v.i.To leap; to jump; to spring; to move forward by leaps. Before his lord the ready spaniel bounds.
1. To rebound--but the sense is the same.
BOUND
pret. and pp. of bind. As a participle, made fast by a band, or by chains or fetters; obliged by moral ties; confined; restrained. 1. As a participle or perhaps more properly an adj. , destined; tending; going, or intending to go; with to or for; as, a ship is bound to Cadiz, or for Cadiz.
The application of this word, in this use, is taken from the orders given for the government of the voyage, implying obligation, or from tending, stretching. So destined implies being bound.
Bound is used in composition, as in ice-bound, wind-bound, when a ship is confined or prevented from sailing by ice or by contrary winds.
BOUNDARY
n.A limit; a bound. This word is thus used as synonymous with bound. But the real sense is, a visible mark designating a limit. Bound is the limit itself or furthest point of extension, and may be an imaginary line; but boundary is the thing which ascertains the limit; terminus, not finis. Thus by a statute of Connecticut, it is enacted that the inhabitants of every town shall procure its bounds to be set out by such marks and boundaries as may be a plain direction for the future; which marks and boundaries shall be a great heap of stones or a ditch of six feet long, etc. This distinction is observed also in the statute of Massachusetts. But the two words are, in ordinary use, confounded.
BOUND-BAILIFF

n.Liberality in bestowing gifts or favors; munificence; kindness.

It is followed by of before the thing given, and to before the person receiving.
BOUNTIFULLY
adv. Liberally; largely; in a bountiful manner.
BOUNTIFULNESS
n.The quality of being bountiful; liberality in the bestowment of gifts and favors.
BOUNTIHEDE, BOUNTIHEAD
n.Goodness.
BOUNTY
n.[L. bonitas, from bonus, good. ] 1. Liberality in bestowing gifts and favors; generosity; munificence. The word includes the gift or favor and the kindness of disposition with which it is bestowed; or a favor bestowed with benevolent disposition. This distinguishes it from a mere gift. It is also observed by Johnson, that it differs from charity, as a present from an alms, in not being bestowed upon persons absolutely necessitous. This is often the case; but bounty includes charity, as the genus comprehends the species; charity however does not necessarily include bounty, for charity or an alms may be given with reluctance.
The word may be used also for a free gift, 2 Corinthians 9:5, or a disposition to give, without the gift; goodness in general.
2. A premium offered or given, to induce men to enlist into the public service; or to encourage any branch of industry, as husbandry, manufactures or commerce.
