I regularly see restaurants advertise their food is "Made from
"Scratch".

To me, the word "scratch" means getting an abrasion on my skin from a
sharp object, or something a cat does with their claws.

Somehow that dont seem to have anything to do with cooking, unless you
scratch your hand on a sharp cooking gadget.....

So, what is this secret ingredient they are adding to these foods which
is called "Scratch"?

Not necessary. I doubt it will be back with the same name.

this just means you are making this "homemade" instead of "store
bought". For example, you could buy a dozen frozen bisquits at the
market and simply heat them up or you could buy all the ingredients to
bake bisquits and "make them from scratch". After you produce a batch
of bisquits you will understand why they call it "from scratch". What
is your native language?

I could be wrong but I think the term dates back to when they had to hand
write recipes. Or receipts as they were sometimes called. The list of
ingredients was "scratched" down and sometimes a loose description such as
preparation or bake time. We do refer to small pads of paper as scratch
pads. And odd little scraps of paper that can be reused for notes and things
as scratch paper.

I've heard "scratch" being used as money as in, "you got any scratch?" It also means "zero or nothing" as in, "I got scratch, man." "Scratch" also means to drop the cue ball in a pocket in billiards, i.e., a bad shot which results in the loss of your play. In this case it means throwing away all your previous work and starting from the beginning or zero. I do this frequently.
