baguette

English borrowed baguette directly from French baguette, meaning "stick," which came from Italian bacchetta. Bacchetta in turn traces back to Vulgar Latin *baclitta, a diminutive built on Latin baculum, "staff" or "stick."

The word began as a general term for a small stick or rod in Latin and its descendants, and only in French did it come to name the long, slender loaf of bread we know today.
