that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven,
shineth unto the other part under heaven;
so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

bolt (v.)
from bolt (n.) in its various senses; from a crossbow arrow's quick flight comes the meaning "to spring, to make a quick start". Via the notion of runaway horses, this came to mean "to leave suddenly." The meaning "to secure by means of a bolt" is from 1580s.
bolt (n.)
Old English bolt "short, stout arrow with a heavy head;" also "crossbow for throwing bolts," perhaps from PIE root *bheld- "to knock, strike" (source also of Lithuanian beldu "I knock," baldas "pole for striking").
Applied since Middle English to other short metal rods (especially those with knobbed ends). From the notion of an arrow's flight comes the lightning bolt(1530s). A bolt of canvas (c. 1400) was so called for its shape. Adverbial phrase bolt upright is from late 14c.
The bolt image is repeatedly used in media – especially this past year.
