Etymology

**Bizness** is a 20th‑century French slang noun that was borrowed directly from American English “biz,” a clipped form of **business**. The English word *business* comes from Middle English *bisiness* (“occupation, work”), a compound of *busy* (meaning “occupied”) and the noun‑forming suffix *‑ness*. The element *busy* traces back to Old French *bis* “occupied,” which in turn originates from the Latin root *bus* (to be engaged).
