predisposition
의미: An inherited or acquired tendency to develop a particular condition, attitude, or pattern of behaviour.
Predisposition is frequently used in medical contexts to describe genetic vulnerability to diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or depression. It implies that while someone is more likely to develop a condition, it is not inevitable — environmental factors also play a role. The term is stronger than inclination, suggesting a deeper, often biological basis for the tendency.
