Meaning: Predilection refers to an established preference or a special liking for something. It implies a strong liking deriving from one’s experience. For instance, if someone has a predilection for something, they like it a lot.
Origin: It is borrowed from French predilection, which in turn comes from the Latin word praedilect meaning ‘preferred’, from prae ‘in advance + diligere ‘to select’. The term has been in use since the mid-18th Century.
