A two-wheeled hand truck or cart used for moving heavy objects; also a wheeled cooking device used in professional kitchens.
From French diable (devil), so named because the device could carry heavy loads as if by devilish magic. From Latin diabolus, originally Greek diabolos (slanderer).
The French named this labor-saving cart 'devil' because it made moving impossible weights seem supernaturally easy—a perfect example of how different cultures describe the same magical feeling with their own demon mythology.
