Question

predilection n.偏好；袒护 (1) 他偏好油腻的食物。(2) 袒护孩子等于纵容孩子,这样做不利于孩子的成长。 Predilection is based on the Latin verb praediligere, or "prefer before others," which breaks down to prae, before, and diligere, "choose or love." We often use the word predilection for tendencies that people seem to have been born with, also called predispositions. If you're a night owl, you probably have a predilection for cities, while morning people tend to prefer the country.
