Etymology

The term 'trollop' originates from the late 19th century, likely derived from the word 'troll,' which has various meanings including the act of fishing with a line. However, in this context, 'trollop' specifically refers to a promiscuous woman. The etymology might be influenced by the Old English word 'troll,' which means to roll or to wander, suggesting a woman who is seen as 'wandering' in her sexual exploits. It's essential to note that the term has been predominantly used in a negative connotation, rooted in societal judgments about women's sexual behavior. As language and societal norms evolve, the usage of 'trollop' can reflect shifts in attitudes towards sexuality and the stigma associated with it.
