The plural of mouse is mice.

The plural of louse is lice.

The plural of house is not hice.

The plural of moose is not mice.

This makes perfect sense.

Does this make sense?

It's bound to.

We park on driveways and drive on parkways - does that make sense?

Kind of like the word sanction.

An event can be sanctioned, and thus approved.

Misconduct can lead to sanctions, or punishment.

Weird huh?

“We bound them hand and foot.” would belie your meaning, and would be a verb. Interesting that two uses of the same word are so different; the first to leap, the second to fetter.

‘English is not math’ I tell my adult English/ESL student, who grew up in China, when she laughs and asks me questions about our very complex, built-by-humans, wonderful language.

Some one was bound to define the bounds of verbiage and forget the adjective of how one can become bound to a line of thought as if someone had bound their brain with the pejorative shackles of the mind.

But on the out bound of the bourne we are held to this earth from whence we came.

Is that out of bounds?

If a race car is bound with a Denver boot, it is stuck fast. But if released, it can be driven away fast.
