Etymology

The term 'trolley' originates from the mid-19th century. It is derived from the word 'troll,' which means to roll or to travel along a path. Initially, it referred to a wheeled device used to transport heavy items and goods, particularly in industrial settings. Over time, the meaning expanded to include various types of transport vehicles, such as streetcars and shopping carts. The trolley became particularly popular with the advent of urban transit systems in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where it played a crucial role in connecting communities. As consumer shopping habits evolved, the trolley also became synonymous with the shopping cart found in grocery stores, which has become an essential tool in retail shopping.
