If you look it up in a Norwegian dictionary you get to explanations..
The first is that tuss are creatures who according to superstition or old tales live underground.
The other is takes from Old Norse mythology where tuss are trolls or jotuns.

Tusse is the female version, used among others about huldere and other folktale creatures.

So the song "Tussmörkret" can be translated to "troll darkness" ?

 

[MeaCulpa]

In Norwegian tussmørket simply means dusk or twilight.
Directly translated it does mean something like troll darkness, but I guess the point is that tussmørket is the time in the evening when it is starting to grow dark, and creatures such as gnomes or trolls or other underground creatures are coming forth.

When I hear tuss I think of a "bomullstuss" or something.
