Translated separately, the 2 Chinese characters mean ’leaning’ ‘heart’. But together as a word, it would mean “bias” or “partiality”,
i.e. the human nature of favoring one person or subject over another, like the heart staying on one side of the human body instead of being in the center.
偏 = leaning / inclined , 心 = heart => 偏心 = bias / partiality
