Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old Provençal word 'biais', meaning 'slant', 'slope', or 'oblique', which entered Middle French as 'biais'. It was adopted into English in the 16th century initially as a term in the game of bowls to describe the curved trajectory of a biased ball, eventually shifting metaphorically to mean a mental slant or prejudice.
