Words of the week: Predilection and Propensity

Predilection and Propensity (noun)

“Predilection is almost the same as preference. So you have a predilection for wearing black. Or a predilection for peanut butter on Cruskits. Propensity, on the other hand, is an inclination or tendency. Like someone might have a propensity to blame people for his mistakes. Or a propensity to make on air gaffes that are demeaning to women.”
