biased presentation
Etymology
'selectively-presented' originates from the combination of 'selectively' and 'presented'. 'Selectively' comes from 'select', which originates from Latin 'selectus', meaning 'chosen'. 'Presented' comes from 'present', which originates from Latin 'praesentare', meaning 'to place before'.
'selectively' evolved from the Latin 'selectus' through Old French 'selecter', and 'presented' evolved from Latin 'praesentare' through Old French 'presenter'.
Initially, 'selectively' meant 'chosen with care', and 'presented' meant 'to place before'. Over time, 'selectively-presented' evolved to mean 'presented in a selective manner'.
