Etymology
From Middle Dutch bonder, with epenthesis of -d- after liquid consonants (for which compare donder and daalder) from Old Dutch bunra, from Medieval Latin bānnarium, bunnārium (compare English bunarium), derived from bonna, bodina, which possibly ultimately derive from a Gaulish reflex of Proto-Celtic *bundos.
