Phrases

a bolt from (or out of) the blue

bolt upright

have shot one's bolt

Origin

Old English, 'arrow', of unknown origin; related to Dutch bout and German Bolzen 'arrow, bolt for a door'.

In Old English bolt meant ‘an arrow’. This is the bolt in bolt upright, ‘with the back very straight’. Why this comparison was made is not clear—bolts are held more or less horizontally to fire, or at least not straight up, which would be dangerous to the archer. To have shot your bolt, ‘be able to do no more’, is also taken from archery. The completely unexpected bolt from the blue, on the other hand, is a thunderbolt, a flash of lightning with a simultaneous crash of thunder. Such a bolt coming from a totally clear and unclouded sky would indeed be a shock.
