Meaning and background
The story behind Baguette
Baguette is widely understood in Britain as a long, narrow French loaf. The French word also means a small rod or wand, and the Académie française traces it through Italian to Latin baculum, “staff”. That older meaning explains the bread’s stick-like shape without pretending the loaf gave the word its original meaning. Pronounced with emphasis on the final syllable in English, it is a distinctive food-inspired pet name.
