Fastened or secured together using crossbolts, especially in machinery or structural connections.
Past participle of 'crossbolt,' combining 'cross' (from Old French 'crois') with 'bolt' (Old English). The '-ed' suffix indicates a completed action or state of being fastened.
Engineers use crossbolting to create incredibly strong connections in everything from bridges to industrial machinery—the angled positioning distributes stress across multiple points rather than concentrating it at a single joint.
