Fun Fact
Predilection shows up in everything from restaurant reviews to psychological profiles. It implies not just a passing interest but a deep-seated affinity—something that feels ingrained, even if you can’t explain why. It’s a great way to describe taste, bias, or leanings without sounding judgmental.
