On my Android (Moto G) I only typed a word once and now it's the default prediction for some reason; why?

I use the standard keyboard on my Moto G Android phone. The other day I used the Facebook app to block an individual; this was literally the one and only time I have ever typed that person's name on this phone, but for some reason, that name is suddenly the default word prediction anytime I start a new sentence of text. It isn't even part of my phone's dictionary

There are countless other words I have typed many many more times but for some reason this one name that I typed in once is now THE word that shows up when I start new text. Why? And how to I change it? It doesn't make any sense to me

    Right, when it comes up in the prediction window, press and hold on it for a couple of seconds. When you release you'll be able to delete it from future predictions!

    Because you're a Dumbass, that's why.
