A bundle of kindling or brushwood; a faggot of sticks tied together, particularly in British regional usage.
Origin uncertain; possibly from Old English or a regional dialect variant. The term appears in some British regional dictionaries but its etymology is obscure, possibly related to words meaning 'to tie' or 'bundle.'
Regional English is full of forgotten words like adjag—terms that once mattered to rural people (knowing what to call a bundle of sticks for fire-making), but which have nearly disappeared as communities modernize.
