Surface Forms
Morphology
prejudice = judge (semi-transparent) = pre + judice
The compound logic 'pre-' + 'judge' maps onto judging before knowing, which transfers to algorithmic bias, but the nontransparent surface form ('judice') and domain-specific application make it only partly transparent.
Etymology
Prejudice comes from pre- 'before' and judicium 'judgment', the same root as judge. That's why we use prejudice for unfair bias in algorithms and data: it is like a 'judgment made before' the facts, so systems can give unfair results for some groups.
