Predisposing is variant of the word predispose and the word is almost always used in association with 'somebody to something' or 'to do something' and you can use the word for an idea of influencing somebody so that they can behave or likely to think in a particular way. The following sentence can help you in understanding the word well in its various forms: The police inspector is of the belief that some people are predisposed to commit crime. The above-mentioned sentence says that some people are of such mentality that they tend to commit crime.

The word can also be used for an idea when you think that somebody will suffer from a particular illness. Given below is a sentence that can make you understand the word in this context: Everyone should avoid stress as it is something that can predispose people to heart attacks.
