    bâton

    That doesn’t seem to be the case. It seems to be imported from Italian and doesn’t have a form of the base word

      Baguette has many senses in French. One of them is a small or thin stick, a regular stick is a bâton. I don’t know the etymological details, but as for sense these words today, it remains true that baguette is a kind of small bâton.
