built in
Part of construction
Built in describes something designed as an integral part of a larger structure rather than added separately.
A built-in bookshelf is constructed into the wall; built-in storage comes with the house.
The term extends to non-physical features: a phone's built-in camera, software with built-in security.
Something built in from the start is fundamental, not an afterthought.
Also spelled built-in, especially as an adjective before a noun.
