Crossword Genius

Certain to jump (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bound

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'certain' is the first definition.
(as in the phrase 'it's bound to be')

'jump' is the second definition.
(I know that bound is a type of jump)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bound that I've seen before include "fixed a > limit" , "Obliged; leap" , "upward jump" , "long jump" , "demarcation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
