| | Definition: | | \Bound"a*ry\, n.; pl. {Boundaries} [From {Bound} a
limit; cf. LL. bonnarium piece of land with fixed limits.]

bound, as of a territory; a bounding or separating line; a
real or imaginary limit.

of the skies. --N. Cotton.

indicating a limit. Bound is the limit itself. But in
ordinary usage the two words are made interchangeable.
