inborn trait
Natural from birth
An inborn trait is a characteristic present from birth rather than acquired through experience or environment.
The phrase appears in discussions of nature versus nurture: Intelligence has both inborn and learned components.
Inborn traits may be genetic or develop during gestation, but the key distinction is that they exist before any external influence.
