Faggot (also spelled "fagot") is descended from the Greek "phakelos" - a bundle.
Anyone of my generation who grew up in the New York area should remember the old John Gambling radio show (Second Breakfast with John Gambling), which used the following WWI song as its theme.
(Maestro, if you please...)
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
While you've a Lucifer to light your fag
Smile boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile.
So,pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
