Word: bolt-on Part of Speech: noun Pronunciation: /bəʊlt ˈɒn/, /bɒlt ˈɒn/, /bɔʊlt ˈɒn/, /ˌbolt ˈɔn/ 1. An accessory that can be bolted on or otherwise attached. Labels: also, figuratively Example: Some guitars have the neck glued to the body (Les Pauls), some are bolted on (Fenders), and in some the neck is part of one piece of wood that extends through the body (Jackson). The theory of the neck through the body design is that if the pickups, bridge, and the strings (from tuners to tailpiece) are mounted on the same piece of wood, sustain will be greatly enhanced. In practice, a well joined glue-on and a properly fitted bolt-on will sustain just as well. Example: I would draw a distinction between transplants and cross-fertilisation. […] Cross-fertilisation implies a different, more indirect process. It implies that an external stimulus promotes an evolution within the receiving legal system. The evolution involves an internal adaptation by the receiving legal system in its own way. The new development is a distinctive but organic product of that system rather than a bolt-on. 2. A functionality or service that can be added to an existing arrangement or plan (for example, a mobile telephone subscription). Labels: figuratively Example: [I]f an innovation has reached the maturity stage of the product life-cycle, then perhaps its functionality will be developed to provide a ‘bolt-on’, with the core of the innovation remaining essentially the same. A classic example of a sustained innovation is the mobile phone, where functionality is increased by adding on extra capabilities, such as video, Internet acss, GPS tracking systems, music, and email.
