Conversation

I was thinking about the concept of boundedness in our lives.

That's an interesting topic! What do you mean by that?

I feel like sometimes we set limits on ourselves due to that boundedness we perceive.

Totally! Breaking those boundaries can really open up new possibilities.

Root Explanation

Boundedness → It is formed from "bound" (from Old English "bund", meaning to tie or limit) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a state or condition) and "-ness" (a suffix indicating a quality or state). The word "boundedness" refers to the quality or state of being limited or tied within certain boundaries.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'tied' or 'limited' ('bound') and the suffixes indicating a state ('-ed') and quality ('-ness'). This helps you remember that 'boundedness' means the state of being limited.
