trollv.

Brit. /trɒl/, /trəʊl/, U.S. /troʊl/
Forms: Middle English trolle, 1500s trol, 1500s–1600s trole, 1500s– troll; Middle English–1800s trowl, 1500s–1600s trowle, troule, 1500s–1700s troul; Middle English–1800s trull, (Middle English trulle); 1700s–1800s Scottish trow.
Etymology: A word or series of words of uncertain origin, and of which all the senses do not go closely together. It is generally derived < Old French troller, a hunting term, ‘to quest, to go in quest of game, without purpose’, of which Godefroy has one instance. This survives in modern French (see Littré). Godefroy has also one example of traller, in Littré trôler ‘to lead or walk in all directions indiscriminately, to run here and there, to run about, ramble’. These may well be the same word, and trôler is by many referred to German trollen ‘to roll’, though the senses are not the same. Both senses are found in English, but the word has also other senses not found in German or French.
I. To move with a rolling action.
1. intransitive. To move or walk about or to and fro; to ramble, saunter, stroll, ‘roll’; spec. (slang) of a homosexual: to walk the streets, or ‘cruise’, in search of a sexual encounter; cf. sense 13.
