Usage notes
[edit]The word proclivity starts with a syllable that is cognate with the English prefix pro-, not with pre-; however, quite possibly by speciously tempting cognitive analogy with both the idea of temporal precedence and (relatedly) the synonym predisposition, sometimes people tend toward starting the word proclivity with pre-.
