There'll be some sort of catch which does this, and it can usually be activated by hand and/or by the magazine follower when the magazine is empty. On most handguns and western military rifles, the bolt catch will be on the side of the receiver. Some rifles, such as the SKS, require the use of the magazine follower for the bolt to lock to the rear (such as firing the last round, or pulling back on the charging handle with an empty - but locked in place - magazine). Either way, it's essentially a latch which prevents the bolt carrier (for long guns) or slide (for semi auto handguns) from closing.

Where did the saying lock and load come from?

lock you have to lock the bolt to the rear in order to chamber a round id imagine.could also mean the quick loading of a general purpose machine gun(gpmg) for firing.you pull the bolt to the back which then locks into the trigger mechanism, open the top cover to load the ammunition belt. then close top cover. this means the gun is ready of immediate firing. when the trigger is pulled the bolt moves forward picking up the round, moving it to the chamber and firing.
