In a biased direction or manner; slanting or leaning to one side in terms of pathways or approaches.
From 'bias' plus 'ways' (plural of 'way'). This archaic or rare adverbial form combines the noun 'bias' with the suffix 'ways' to indicate manner or direction.
This is such a rare word that it barely appears in modern English—it's like finding a fossil of how older English speakers expressed the idea of doing something in a biased manner!
