Etymology

The word 'inclined' originated from the Latin word 'inclฤซnฤre', which means 'to bend or lean'. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English to 'enclinen' and finally became 'inclined' in modern English. The dual meaning of having a preference and sloping or slanting has been in use since the late Middle English period.
