Origin

Middle English: from Old French bescuit, based on Latin bis 'twice' + coctus, past participle of coquere 'to cook' (so named because originally biscuits were cooked in a twofold process: first baked and then dried out in a slow oven so that they would keep).

The basic meaning of biscuit is ‘twice cooked’, coming into English via French from Latin bis ‘twice’ and coctusi ‘cooked’. The name comes from the original process of making biscuits—they were first baked and then dried out in a slow oven so that they would keep.
