Dia = Across (as in diagram, diatribe) and Bolo = Throw. Diabolo in ancient Greek was sometimes used to mean to talk ill of someone which ultimately lead to it referring to a "devilish" creature which was then taken into the later romance languages. However, there is no direct connection: the shape, toy is direct from the ancient Greek whereas Diablo has later origins specifically to the entity of the Devil.
