inbuilt

There from birth

Inbuilt means built into something as an original or essential feature rather than added later: The camera has an inbuilt flash.

The word is more common in British English; Americans typically say built-in.

Inbuilt qualities are inherent: an inbuilt resistance to change, an inbuilt sense of fairness.
