Definition:
A jolt is an abrupt force that snaps attention into focus, whether physical or emotional. It can be the unexpected slam of a door, a startling noise, or a realization that arrives with lightning clarity. The impact is brief but powerful, shifting one’s state in an instant. Jolts often break stillness, scattering calm like dust in a shaken room. The word carries both energy and disruption.
