Bound to be particular (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

certain

I believe this is a double definition.

'bound to' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'particular' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for certain that I've seen before include "Unquestionable" , "Indisputable" , "Particular" , "Proved beyond doubt" , "Known beyond doubt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
