Triscuit

noun

/ˈtɹɪskɪt/

Etymology Marketing coinage, said to be from electricity and biscuit, though historical evidence is lacking; 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”).
