Definition
Plural of 'tendency': natural inclinations, habits, or patterns of behavior that someone or something is likely to have or follow.
Etymology
From Latin 'tendere' (to stretch, aim toward) combined with the suffix '-ency.' The word entered English through Old French in the 15th century.
Kelly Says
Your 'tendencies' are partly genetic and partly environmental, but here's the wild part: recent research shows your tendencies can actually rewire your brain, so repeating a behavior creates physical grooves in your neurons, making the tendency even stronger!
