faculty
Innate mental capacity
Faculty has two main clusters of meaning.
One refers to an inherent ability or power: the faculty of speech, mental faculties, the faculty of reason.
The other refers to the teaching staff of a school or university, or a division within one: the faculty voted to change the curriculum, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
A person might join the faculty or attend a faculty meeting.
