BOLT , an O. Eng. word (compare Ger. Bolz, an arrow), for a " quarrel" or cross
shaft
door
swift
horse
From another " bolt " or " boult," to sift (through O. Fr. buleter, from the Med. Lat. buretare or buletare), come such expressions as in Shakespeare's Winter's Tale, " The fann'd. snow, That's bolted by the northern blasts twice o'er," or such a figurative use as in Burke 's " The report of the committee was examined and sifted and bolted to the bran." From this sense comes that of to moot, or discuss, as in Milton's Comus , " I hate when vice can bolt her arguments."End of Article: BOLT If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
