Well bound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spring

I believe this is a double definition.

'well' is the first definition.
(a well is a spring of water)

'bound' is the second definition.
(both can mean to leap)

(Other definitions for spring that I've seen before include "Leap at a well-head" , "Vivaldi's work, in order(6;6;6;6)" , "Does the house out thoroughly" , "new dawn?" , "Leap; season" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
