Definitions

1. Having been skewed once more in a particular direction, so that judgment or data again favors one side

Etymology: "Rebiased" is the past tense and past participle of "rebias," which is formed from the prefix "re-" attached to "bias." The prefix means "again" or "back," so to rebias something is to bias it anew, typically to shift a system, estimate, or measurement that had already been skewed in one direction so that it tilts another way. Because "bias" itself began as a term from the game of bowls, where a bowl is weighted on one side so that it curves, the verb carries that original image of an object deliberately pushed off its true course.
