A typo. As i assume you mean "bootstrapping" there are several possible meanings of this:

1. A machines starting process, especially the start of the operating system. This is usually called "booting" which is a shortening version of "bootstrapping".

2. The process of refining a compiler by compiling the compilers source code with the compiler itself over and over again.

3. The process of fastening the shoelace of boots in order to make the walking process easier.

You could have found that out easily by consulting the Eternal Well of Internet Wisdom, called "google", which would, after being worshipped by the arcane chant "bootstrapping definition", have come up with the verdict:

Bootstrapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah, sure.....
