It didn't, early computers had a very wide range of word and character sizes many machines were decimal so their word/character sizes were defined in decimal digits not binary bits. Even microprocessors the first commercial microprocessor the Intel 4004 was a 4 bit not 8 bit machine. The 8 bit byte as a standard only originated in 1964 with the IBM System/360.Some examples of different computers of the past:ABC: 50 bit binary words; no characters.ENIAC: 10 digit decimal words; no characters.IAS: 40 bit binary words; no characters.UNIVAC 1: 12 character/digit decimal words; 1 digit characters.IBM 701: 36/18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 702: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.UNIVAC 1101: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 650: 10 digit decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 704: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.UNIVAC 1103: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 705: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.IBM 709: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7090: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 1620: variable length decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 1401: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.DEC PDP-1: 18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7030: 64 bit binary words, variable length character/byte strings; variable length (4 to 8 bits) characters/bytes.CDC 6600: 60 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.DEC PDP-8: 12 bit binary words; 6 or 8 bit characters.IBM System/360: 32 bit binary words, variable (up to 32 digits) length decimal words; 8 bit characters/bytes.DEC PDP-10: 36 bit binary words; variable length (1 to 36 bits) characters.UNIVAC 1110: 36 bit binary words; 6 or 9 bit characters/bytes.etc.
It's a contraction of the two words binary digit
the language of the microchip is binary. binary is a big mess of 1's and 0's that the computer interperates into data, or sometimes even words.

Binary what? Binary numbers? Binary stars? Binary fission?
1's and 0's, just data bits. Bitmap pictures usually have binary values which tell the computer what colour to output and where and what size etc and words (letters) usually have an ascii value which is translated to hex and then to binary.
A 4-bit binary word is a sequence of four binary digits (bits), where each bit can be either 0 or 1. This allows for a total of 16 possible combinations, ranging from 0000 to 1111 in binary, which corresponds to the decimal values 0 to 15. 4-bit binary words are often used in digital electronics and computer systems to represent small numbers or simple data.
