Definition: start to work seriously
Sample: You've been fooling around enough. Now it is time to
BUCKLE DOWN and get to work if you want to learn something.
contrast: buckle up = put on a seat belt
Sample: I want everybody in the car to buckle up before we start. OK?

that makes sense.
down always goes with the meaning of "being serious"
like "get down to the topic"

actually lots of particles have meaning.
like over:
control over sth
reign over sth
preside over sth
all means something in control
off means departure from
take off:the plane departs from land
put off:clothes depart your body
get off:you depart the bus
...
