Also 5 boltell, 5–9 bowtel(l, 6–7 bou(l)tell, boultle, 8 boultine, 9 boutel.
[Conjectured to be f. bolt n.1 ‘from its resemblance to the shaft of an arrow or bolt’ (Gloss. Archit.): but as bolt is a Teutonic word, and -el of Fr. origin, the conjecture is hazardous.]
An old name for a plain round moulding; a shaft of a clustered pillar.
