Benjamin Vaughan Abbott · 1879

A charge in the nature of a toll. Apparently, the noun toU had, in its earliest use, the sense of a franchise or liberty to keep a fair or market, for resort to and trade in which a payment might be exacted (see Burrill); and thento Uage was the term formed, in. accordance with many analogies (such as poundage, postage, &c.), for the charge imposed. Afterwards, toll came to be used for the charge itself, as well as for the franchise of taking it.
