Crossword Genius

Bolt's very quick and keen on a regular basis (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fasten

'bolt's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'very quick and keen on a regular basis' is the wordplay.
'very quick' becomes 'fast' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'on a regular basis' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternate letters of 'keen' are 'en'.
'fast'+'en'='FASTEN'

(Other definitions for fasten that I've seen before include "Fix securely" , "Fix to, secure" , "Shut" , "Attach" , "Tie, secure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
