Word origin

偏 (piān, "leaning") + 大 (dà, "large") combines a shift from the usual point with size, giving the sense of being a little larger than expected.

Usage tips

  • In clothing and shoe reviews, this word describes the item's fit against the expected size, so a size chart or measured item is more reliable than the label alone.
