F a g g o t (wood), a bundle of sticks or branches, usually meant for use as firewood
It derives ([1]) through the Old French fagot and the Italian diminutive faggotto from the Latin facus ("bundle", itself from fasces), coming into Middle English no later than 1279. It has also been used on occasion to refer more specifically (attested from 1555 in English) to wood for funeral pyres or a burning at the stake, and recanting heretics had to wear an embroidered figure of a ****** on their sleeve.
When a ****** is wrapped in only one band or withe, instead of the traditional two, it is also referred to as a bavin.

The word "f a g" is a contraction of the word "f a g g o t" or a small stick or bundle of sticks
