soupçon (soop-SAWN) - n., a very small amount, a dash, a trace, a hint.
One dictionary notes that it's often restricted to humorous uses. Borrowed in the 1760s from French (so nasalize that last N), where it meant a suspicion, from Middle French sospeçon, from Late Latin suspectiōn-, stem of suspectiō, from Latin suspīciō, suspicion.
