Definitions

  1. bind or tie up in or as if in a faggot

Word origin

From Middle English fagot, from Old French fagot (“bundle of sticks”), of uncertain origin. Unlikely from Old Occitan fagot or Italian fagotto, as these appear later than the Old French term. Compare also Italian fangotto and Spanish fajo (“bundle, wad”). Perhaps from a diminutive of Vulgar Latin *facus, from Ancient Greek φάκελος (phákelos, “bundle of wood”).

Used in a sentence

  • In the depth of, winter, however, a faggot of real French Sticks — although of little intrinsic value — may possibly enliven for a few moments an English Fireside.
  • He clambered back on his feet and grinned at them. The waning faggot cast red light over his fangs.
  • To the east, the night grew a faggot of luminous gray, then seashell opalescence that dimmed the stars.
