Certain leap (5)
I believe the answer is:
bound
I believe this is a double definition.
'certain' is the first definition.
(as in the phrase 'it's bound to be')
'leap' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for bound that I've seen before include "Certain - fastened" , "Confined" , "Bob < sure < to be heading for" , "Jump - certain - limit" , "demarcation" .)
