Legal Definition

bond 1 of 2

noun

: a usually formal written agreement by which a person undertakes to perform a certain act (as appear in court or fulfill the obligations of a contract) or abstain from performing an act (as committing a crime) with the condition that failure to perform or abstain will obligate the person or often a surety to pay a sum of money or will result in the forfeiture of money put up by the person or surety

Note: The purpose of a bond is to provide an incentive for the fulfillment of an obligation.
