偏

piān

to lean

to slant; oblique; prejudiced; to deviate from average; to stray from the intended line; stubbornly; contrary to expectations

person (亻) + [sound: piān] (扁) = leaning off to one side

扁 gives the sound piān; the person radical suggests this is a human tendency — to lean, to be biased, to stray from center.
