Biases

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˈbaɪəsÉ™z/
• Note, the plural noun is often pronounced /ˈbaɪəsiz/ (with a "long i" sound in the final syllable) based on the erroneous belief that the -es in biases stems from the Latin plural ending of the same written form. In actuality, the word comes from the French past participle biais, of uncertain origin, and the -es merely represents a standard English plural formation.
