'biased-assessed' originates from the combination of 'biased' and 'assessed', where 'biased' means 'having or showing bias or prejudice' and 'assessed' means 'evaluated or judged'.

'biased' comes from the Old French word 'biais', and 'assessed' comes from the Latin word 'assessus', meaning 'to sit beside'.

Initially, 'biased' meant 'slanting or oblique', but over time it evolved to mean 'prejudiced'. 'Assessed' has largely retained its meaning of 'evaluated'.
