BIAS (from the Fr. biais, of unknown origin; the derivation from Lat. bifax, two-faced, is wrong)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 849 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BIAS (from the Fr. biais, of unknown origin; the derivation from Lat. bifax, two-faced, is wrong) , something oblique or slanting. The
term
  is used especially of a piece of
cloth
  cut obliquely across the texture, or of a seam of two such pieces brought together; and in the
game
  of
bowls
  (q.v.) it is applied alike to the one-sided construction of the bowl, flattened on one
side
  and protruding on the other, and to the slanting
line
  the bowl takes when thrown. The figurative sense of the word,
prejudice
  or undue leaning to one
side
  of a subject, is derived from this
bowling
 
term
 .
