"Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the
labors of other people, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in
order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still
receiving.".... Albert Einstein
Possessed as an essential characteristic; inherent.
Of or produced by the mind rather than learned through
experience: an innate knowledge of right and wrong.
Synonyms: innate, inborn, inbred, congenital, hereditary
These adjectives mean existing in a person or thing from birth or origin.
Something that is innate seems essential to the nature, character, or
constitution: innate common sense. Inborn strongly implies
that something has been present since birth: inborn intelligence.
What is inbred has often been ingrained through earliest training or
associations: an inbred love of music. Congenital is applied
principally to characteristics, especially defects, acquired during fetal
development: a congenital disease. It is also used figuratively of
characteristics or people with characteristics that are so deep-seated as to
appear natural: a congenital pessimism; a congenital liar.
Hereditary refers to what is transmitted by biological heredity (a
hereditary heart anomaly) or by tradition: “that ignorance and
superstitiousness hereditary to all sailors” (Herman Melville).
