The prefix is bis- and comes from the French 'biscuit' meaning 'to be cooked twice' (bis-cuit). The original biscuit was a slice of bread that was baked (or toasted) another time (because the bread was already baked before being cut into slices). It's the same as the German word 'zwieback' (twice baked) or the Dutch word 'beschuit' (obviously derived from the French word)
The actual prefix is "bis", an Italian prefix meaning "twice". The root word "cuit" means "cooked". Biscuits are cookies that are baked twice, which makes them crispy.
