Definition

Usage Examples

Etymology

The French noun *troll* comes directly from the English *troll*, which was borrowed from Swedish *troll* (Old Norse *þroll*), a mythological creature akin to a giant or goblin. In English the word began as the name of this mythical being, then in the 1990s gained a figurative sense for a malicious internet user; the French sense is a recent loan from that English usage, appearing in the early 2000s. No Latin or Greek roots are involved—the term’s evolution reflects a Scandinavian myth transferred into modern digital slang.
