I think bint is the present tense of bind. Bints are a bind (sometimes)

"bind" is quite a standard example, not only in English, but also in Dutch and German (binden) ;)

bind - bound - bound
What about to be bound to?
Does it mean to be certain?
He is bound to arrive this evening. - is this sentence ok? Is this expression frequently used in spoken English?
Thank you.
