Fagotto

[Sarah]

The bassoon; -- so called from being divided into parts forease of carriage, making, as it were, a small fagot.

[Sarah]

A bassoon, in Italian, with variants in several other languages including German (Fagott) and Armenian (fakod in Western Armenian and fagot in Eastern Armenian). The name comes from the word faggot, meaning a bundle of wooden sticks, which the instrument resembles. Has nothing to do with being gay.

[Sarah]

Name for the bassoon in some other language. Probably where faggot came from (from blowing into a hole, which is the stereotype)
