Inherited from Old French baston, probably from a Vulgar Latin bastōnem, itself a modification of Late Latin bastum, or possibly noun use of the verb "bastāre, from Ancient Greek βαστάζω (bastázō). Compare Italian bastone. The word “batton” is a mistake people sometimes make when they write or say “baton”. It’s easy to add an extra “t” by accident, but now you know it’s just “baton” with one “t”. Baton Baton Mein (transl. In Between Talks) is a 1979 Indian romantic comedy film, produced and directed by Basu Chatterjee. The film stars Amol Palekar and Tina Munim. David, Pearl Padamsee, Asrani and Ranjit Choudhary appear in supporting roles. The film's music is by Rajesh Roshan. Baton typically refers to a thin rod used in various contexts, such as in music, where a conductor wields it to direct an orchestra. It's a symbol of authority and guidance, ensuring harmony in musical performance. Batton, on the other hand, is less commonly encountered in American English, but when it is, it usually refers to "batten," meaning a long, flat piece of lumber used in carpentry or construction.
