Definition
偏重 means 'to emphasize or prioritize one aspect over others', often used when describing a lopsided focus or preference. It's a transitive verb that takes a direct object (偏重某方面). Unlike 重视 (to value highly), 偏重 carries a nuance of imbalance — you're putting extra weight on one side, sometimes at the expense of others.
v.
to emphasize (one aspect over others)to lay particular stress on
