• Gow, W. S. P. (1924) Gow’s Guide to Shanghai, 1924: A Complete, Concise and Accurate Handbook of the City and District, Especially Compiled for the Use of Tourists and Commercial Visitors to the Far East, Shanghai, page 104: “Bunder: Gossip; Rumour (“information” picked up on the Bund) also sometimes, canard; slander.”

From Middle Dutch bonder, with epenthesis of -d- after liquid consonants (for which compare donder and daalder) from Old Dutch bunra, from Medieval Latin bānnarium, bunnārium (compare English bunarium), derived from bonna, bodina, which possibly ultimately derive from a Gaulish reflex of Proto-Celtic *bundos.
