Morphology
strong + bond
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'strong' (intense, powerful) modifying 'bond' (a tie or connection), so 'strong bond' literally means a firm or deep connection. This adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Strong bond paints a clear picture: imagine a thick rope or very sticky glue holding two things together. Here strong shows power and bond means the tie between them. So, it now means 'a deep and lasting connection' between people or things.
