inherency
Inborn essential nature
Inherency is the quality of being inherent—existing as an essential or permanent part of something rather than added from outside.
In debate and rhetoric, inherency refers to structural barriers that prevent a problem from being solved under the current system: The affirmative must prove inherency to justify their plan.
The term appears most often in formal or technical contexts.
