喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English partiall, from Old French parcial, from Late Latin partiālis, from Latin pars 'part'.

源自古法文 parcial，來自拉丁文 pars「部分」。

Wiktionary

The word sits on part. Say only part of the thing is covered and you get 'incomplete'. Let the same 'only part' fall on a person's judgement — their weight rests on one side, not spread evenly — and you get the other half of the word: leaning towards one group, or simply having a soft spot for something.

這個字建在 part（部分）上面。說「只涵蓋其中一部分」，就是不完整；把同樣的「只偏一邊」放到一個人的判斷上——重量沒有平均分配，全壓在其中一側——就長出這個字的另外一半：偏袒某一方，或單純就是特別偏愛某樣東西。
