Etymology

[edit]

Marketing coinage, said to be from electricity and biscuit, though historical evidence is lacking;[1] sources from around the time of its introduction interpreted the name to mean "thrice-cooked" (from tris-), like biscuit is ultimately from bis (twice) cuit (cooked, baked).[2]

Noun

[edit]

Triscuit (plural Triscuits)

  1. (US, Canada) A kind of wholewheat cracker.
