message: I would think the name is a portmanteau of Triticum (Latin for wheat, and generic name) and biscuit. TRIticum + biSCUIT = TRISCUIT I could be wrong, of course, but as it is a biscuit made of wheat, a combination of the words for wheat and biscuit work really well. Now, if only I could find a source for that... mpbx (talk) 08:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Triscuits have three ingredients, so "tri" could mean three. It could also have three types of grain. HotdogPi (talk) 18:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it might mean "thrice-baked". Biscuit means twice baked. In French, "cuit" means baked. 86.11.163.10 (talk) 21:23, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I was told that it was because Triscuits are Triticale Wheat baked into Biscuits.  Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye that was invented right around the same time as Triscuits.  Prove me wrong! :D moeburn (talk) 20:30, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

text: It's a pun on "biscuit"; the idea is that a triscuit is fifty percent better or something. Tb 03:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  In a final Jeopardy question the clue was "The name of this cracker that’s been around since 1903 suggests that it was baked 3 times" and the response was "What is Triscuit?". A note on that linked page says that "biscuit" is from the French for twice baked, so triscuit implies thrice-baked. There's no evidence they are actually baked three times though, it's just a name the inventor Henry D. Parker gave the cracker for his patent. As above, it probably has to do with triscuits being better that biscuits. It's probably an anachronism, but also if you look at modern triscuit boxes they highlight they only use three simple ingredients (wheat, salt, and oil).
