🪢 纟(thread) + 邦 (bāng nation) = threads that bind
The silk radical 纟 signals rope or cord. The right half 邦 lends the sound bāng. A cord used to truss someone up — binding tight.
绑 — silk radical 纟 + 邦 (bāng)
绑 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The silk radical 纟 gives the meaning, since binding was traditionally done with cords or silk ropes. The right side 邦 (bāng) supplies the sound, slightly shifted to bǎng. The character thus means 'to tie' or 'to bind'.
