Origin

Late 15th century (in the senses 'process of baking', 'quantity produced at one baking'): based on an Old English word related to bacan (see bake1). Current senses date from the early 18th century.

  • bake [OE] and batch from Late Middle English:

    Both words go back to the same Old English root. Baker's dozen meaning ‘thirteen’, arose in the 16th century. It was a traditional bakers' practice to add an extra loaf to every dozen sold to a shopkeeper—this extra, thirteenth loaf was the source of the retailer's profit when the loaves were sold on to customers.
