Definition
A small demon or devilish creature; in older usage, a small firecracker or explosive device that produces noise and sparks.
Etymology
From French diablotin (little devil), from diable (devil) + -otin (diminutive). Used in English from the 18th century onward.
Kelly Says
Diablotin literally means 'little devil' in French, but its real fame comes from 19th-century children's literature and Christmas celebrations where small firecrackers called diablotins would be set off for entertainment.
