tots
Wee young children
Tots are very young children, roughly toddler age—old enough to walk but still small: The playground was full of tots.
The word is informal and affectionate.
Tots also names small pieces of something, especially tater tots—fried cylinders of shredded potato: We ordered tots with our burgers.
As a verb, tot means to add up, usually with "up": Let me tot up the bill.
