Bolt joined with pins and needles temporarily (10)
I believe the answer is:
fleetingly
'bolt' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fleetingly that I've seen before include "for a short time" , "for a brief moment" , "momentarily" .)
