Biscuitry

/bɪsˈkuːtri/ noun

Definition

The craft, art, or business of making biscuits; a bakery or factory that specializes in biscuits.

Etymology

From 'biscuit' with the suffix '-ry,' which denotes a craft, art, or place where something is made (like 'bakery,' 'pottery,' 'archery'). This is a productive suffix in English.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ry' is fascinating because it originally came from French and Old English and creates both activities and places—'biscuitry' can mean either the skill of biscuit-making or the actual bakery building itself.
