Etymology
Mandoline for the kitchen slicer probably comes from the musical mandolin (Italian mandolino), whose name comes from a word for 'almond' because the instrument is rounded like an almond. A helpful way to remember it is to picture thin, almond-like slices, so a mandoline is a tool for making very thin, even slices.
