SKEW Meaning and
Definition
-
Skew is a term that can be used as a noun or a verb, referring to a range of different things depending on the context. As a noun, skew typically refers to a state or condition of being distorted or asymmetrical, often deviating from a straight or perpendicular line. It can be used to describe something that is oblique, slanted, or inclined at an angle. In mathematics and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of a probability distribution, indicating whether the tail of the distribution is skewed towards one side.
As a verb, skew means to cause something to be skewed or to skew in a particular direction. It can involve intentionally distorting or twisting something out of its natural or intended shape. In a figurative sense, it can also mean to present or represent something in a biased or distorted manner, usually with the intention of influencing opinion or perception.
The term skew can also be used to describe a statistical or mathematical technique called skew correction, which is used to adjust or normalize data that is not normally distributed. Skew correction involves transforming the data to achieve a symmetrical distribution, removing any bias or imbalance.
In summary, skew is a versatile term that can refer to asymmetry, distortion, inclination, or bias, depending on the usage and context.

Etymology of SKEW
The word "skew" has English origins and is believed to have derived from the Middle English word "skewe" or "skiuwen", meaning "to turn aside" or "to shy away". This Middle English term can be traced to the Old Norse word "skeggja", which means "to jut out" or "to slant". Ultimately, the Old Norse term was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "skeggōną", carrying a similar meaning of "to jut or stick out".
