Word to the Wise: Predilection
Archives: Wise | Word to the Wise
A "predilection" (preh-dih-LEK-shun) – from the Latin for "to choose" – is an established preference.
Example (as used by Marina Cantacuzino in The Guardian): "[British actor Richard] Wilson doesn’t see any inconsistency between his socialism and his predilection for the high life."
