Gerund form of fagot (verb) + -ing. From faggot meaning to bundle. In metalworking, this technique emerged in medieval Europe as a way to create stronger composite metal tools and weapons by heating bundled rods.
Fagoting is an ancient metallurgical technique still used today: blacksmiths bundle different types of iron together and heat them until they fuse, creating Damascus-like patterns and stronger blades!
