Etymonline
Word Origin & History
bundle
early 14c., from M.Du. bondel, dim. of bond, from binden "bind," or perhaps a merger of this word and O.E. byndele "binding," from P.Gmc. base *bundilin (cf. Ger. bündel "to bundle"), from PIE base *bhendh- "tie." The verb is recorded from 1620s; meaning "to wrap up in warm heavy clothes" is from
1893. Related: Bundled. Bundling (1781) "sharing a bed for the night, fully dressed, wrapped up with someone of the opposite sex" was a former local custom in Wales and New England.
