Etymonline
Word Origin & History
bounder
1560s, "one who sets bounds," from
bound
(n.); slang meaning "person of objectionable social behavior, would-be stylish person," is from 1889, perhaps from
bound
(v.) on notion of one trying to "bound" into high society, but earliest usage suggests
EXPAND
one outside the "bounds" of acceptable socializing, which would connect it with the noun.
