Well, the question (linked below & answered on that page) actually brings up "troll"; but it's probably related to 'toll' (both "things you've got to pay before you cross a bridge," yeah?)
Anyway; |that word| seems important; so I found out a little more about |that word| and share my findings with you below.
To Keep Up on My 'Research,' Follow @mythmanjay
The word |Toll| sits at the peak of the high tower above ancient words that mean "to Lift, Support, Weigh (see |Extol)," which evolved (to today's meaning "Tax, Fee") through ancient words that mean "Cost, |Expense, Duty, Tax-Collector, #Tollhouse, Custom House, Rent, |Passage-Money, Tribute, |Impost" (for sense, compare Finance).
The "Sound of |Slow Single Strokes on a Bell or on |Chimes"-sense is built on obscure origins beneath ancient words that mean "|Seduce, Draw away, |Decoy, Lure."
