Etymology

Diablotin comes from French diable ('devil') with the small ending -otin meaning 'little', so it originally meant 'little devil'. A helpful way to remember it is to picture a small, crisp round toast — a tiny 'little devil' of bread — which is why cooks use diablotin for a small toasted slice served with soup.
