The term originate from the idea of the past, present, and future. When something is taking place in the future, looking forward to, is a way of saying when the future comes. This is so on account of the past being considered behind, the present being here and now, and the future being the forward.

Is DC biased is forward biased?

Forward bias implies that your device is sensitive to bias direction and you have selected one of them. There is also an implication that it is probably a steady bias. So forward bias generally implies a dc bias in a selected direction called forward bias in the device you are looking at. Now the question is actually put the other way round. DC bias means a steady state bias. Whether or not it is forward or reverse bias depends on whether or not the device is sensitive to the direction of bias. If it is not sensitive to that, it isn't forward bias (or reverse bias either). If it is sensitive to bias direction, then it would be in a state of either forward bias or reverse bias, and you would need more information in order to say which one. So, finally, the phrase "dc biased" is NOT the same thing as "forward biased".
