A shaft of lightning: a brilliant stream of electricity passing from one part of the heavens to another, and particularly from the clouds to the earth; the name originated in the ancient notion that the destructive effects of lightning could be caused only by a shaft or bolt-like hard body being hurled at the object destroyed: (fig.) a daring or irresistible hero ; a dreadful threat, denunciation, censure, or the like, proceeding from some high authority; fulmination ; "He severely threateus such with the thunderbolt of excommunication."-Hakewill.
