Nature
Wild world personified
Nature is the physical world and its phenomena—plants, animals, weather, landscapes, everything not made by humans.
Let's get out into nature this weekend.
A person's or thing's nature is its fundamental character: It's not in her nature to lie.
By nature, something behaves according to its inherent qualities.
The nature of a situation is what it essentially involves: the nature of the problem.
Human nature refers to traits common to all people.
In older or poetic usage, Nature personified is the force governing the physical world: Mother Nature, Nature abhors a vacuum.
