It seems like you're really asking if the verb "bolt" as in "flee" is derived from the Latin "volare." Turns out it's from an Old English word for "arrow."

"Voler" is the infinitive form. It means to fly, as a bird does. To flee is "fuire". I believe the "wing" in the translation below is in reference to using "to wing" as a synonym to "to fly", for example, "the bird was winging its way home". I have no idea what use of "pick" is referred to.
voler
fly, steal, rob, take, wing, pick

The verb to steal is voler in French. But you will need to conjugate it correctly and of course those spellings will vary.
And yes, a vol is a flight which would make it a noun.
You should be able to work it out by the context. Is it being used as a noun or a verb?
