PREJUDICING Meaning and
Definition
-
Prejudicing is a verb derived from the noun prejudice, which refers to the preconceived opinion or bias towards a person, group, or idea, usually formed without concrete evidence or experience. To prejudice means to influence or affect someone's judgment or decision-making in a negative or unfair way, often based on superficial characteristics such as race, religion, gender, or socioeconomic status. It involves the act of prejudging or making assumptions about someone or something without proper consideration of facts or individual merits.
When someone engages in prejudicing, they are actively participating in the perpetuation of unfair and discriminatory practices. By holding and promoting prejudiced beliefs, attitudes, or actions, individuals or groups contribute to the marginalization, oppression, or stereotyping of others. Prejudicing can include biased opinions, discriminatory behavior, or prejudicial treatment towards certain individuals or communities.
Furthermore, prejudicing often leads to the creation and reinforcement of stereotypes, which are oversimplified and generalized beliefs about a particular social or ethnic group. These stereotypes can be damaging and contribute to the perpetuation of discrimination and exclusion.
In summary, the act of prejudicing involves forming biased opinions or attitudes without sufficient knowledge or understanding and using these prejudices to negatively influence decisions or treatment towards individuals or groups, often contributing to discrimination, bias, or stereotyping.

Etymology of PREJUDICING
The word "prejudicing" is derived from the verb "prejudice". The term has its roots in two Latin words: "prae-" meaning "before" or "in advance" and "judicium" meaning "judgment" or "opinion". This combination gave rise to the Latin term "praejudicum", which referred to a preliminary judgment or opinion formed before obtaining all the relevant facts. Over time, the term evolved into the Middle French word "prejudicier" and eventually into the English word "prejudice". The verb form "prejudicing" is formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to create the present participle form.
