fag(g)ot is a bundle of sticks

Fagot is also what a bassoon is called in Danish, Dutch, Spanish, German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Latvian, Slovak and Czech, for some reason lol.

Not sure about the pronunciation, though, even though the first of those is my native language 😄

Its fa-'got, fyi. Similar to the slur, but the second syllable is stressed, like the word for good. That is in your native language to be clear, I don't know about the others.

Same in German
