| 词汇 | trolling |
| 词源 | trolling. The trolls, or dwarfs, of Scandinavian mythology have nothing to do with this word. Meaning in its nautical sense to angle with a running line (which may have originally run on a troll, or winch), or to trail a baited line behind a boat, the word troll has its beginnings in a hunting term, the Middle French troller, which meant “to go in quest of game,” or “to ramble.” |
