What does soupçon mean in English?

"Soupçon" is a French word that means a very small amount or trace of something. It's often used to describe a hint of something, like a flavor or an emotion.

Here are some examples:

* "There was a soupçon of garlic in the sauce."

* "She had a soupçon of sadness in her eyes."

* "The air was filled with a soupçon of danger."

It's a more formal and elegant way to say "a little bit" or "a hint of".
