| bundling \BEHND-ling\ (noun) - Sleeping with someone of the opposite sex fully clothed, separated by a blanket, or sewn up in a bundling bag.
"Under the Amish and Mennonites, bundling is a form of courtship, a way for a future married couple to spend time alone without risk of offspring."
Today's word is the noun from the verb "bundle," a relative of "bind," but probably borrowed directly from Middle Dutch bondel "sheaf of papers, bundle." Another relative is "band" but "bandanna" comes from Hindi bandhnu "tie-dyeing" from bandhna "to tie" (Sanskrit bandhati "he ties"). Another distant relative is "kummerbund" from Hindi kamarband, itself borrowed from Persian kamar "waist" + band "band." |
