fagot

Bound firewood sticks

Fagot is a bundle of sticks or twigs bound together, traditionally used as fuel or in construction.

The word appears in historical and literary contexts: gathering fagots for the fire.

In music, the fagot is the bassoon (from Italian fagotto).

The spelling fagot is now rare in American English, where faggot predominates for both the bundle and the slur.
