What does TROLL mean in Scrabble?
noun
In Scandinavian folklore, an ugly, sometimes giant, supernatural being said to live in caves, mountains, or under bridges; also, a lure drawn slowly through the water while fishing.
Stories from Norway and Sweden describe a troll as a strange, often dangerous creature that guards its mountain or bridge and turns to stone in daylight. Modern fantasy books, films, and games have borrowed the troll from this older folklore, usually keeping the same huge size and rough temper. Completely separately, anglers use troll and trolling for the technique of dragging a baited line slowly behind a moving boat. The two senses share only the name; a folklore troll and a fishing troll have no real connection beyond the word itself.
