Explanation
A bond can mean a strong connection or relationship between people, animals, or things. It can also be a written or legal agreement that ties people together, such as a contract or an official promise. In finance, a bond is a type of investment where you lend money to an company or government, and they promise to pay you back with interest. As a verb, to bond means to form a close relationship with someone or something over time, or to make the company officially responsible or obligated for something for a specific time period.
