An archaic or extremely rare term with unclear meaning; possibly a variant of a building or structural component.
Origin uncertain and undocumented; may be a surname used as a common noun, or a technical term from a specific trade lost to history.
When researchers can't find a word's origin, it's often because the entire profession or community that used it disappeared—'bulten' might be a carpenter's or mason's term from a forgotten guild!
