Bonus means "good", but it is the masculine form of the adjective, so it would be used with only masculine nouns; when used without a noun, it would have to signify a male person, "good man". The plural of bonus is boni, "good men".
"A good thing" would have to be the neuter form, bonum; plural bona "good things". Adjectives are listen in dictionaries by their masculine forms, so using bonus to mean "a good thing" looks as though someone looked it up in a dictionary who didn't know any Latin. That is why the Oxford English Dictionary speculates that the non-Latin word bonus (as used in English and many other languages) was coined either as a joke or by someone ignorant:
[Bonus:] An ignorant or jocular application of L. bonus 'good (man)', probably intended to signify a boon, 'a good thing' (bonum). Prob. originally Stock Exchange slang.
