The 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th letters of each word form another word:

bolt, bond, card, gnus, idle, peal, rain, salt, spit

"goniums" does not appear in any dictionary I own (although "gonio-" is a prefix meaning "angle"). Not really a complaint, since it was looking at the possibilities of this word that helped me solve the puzzle.
