inhering
Existing within something
Inhering describes something existing as a permanent, inseparable quality within something else.
Rights may be described as inhering in citizenship; dignity as inhering in personhood.
The word suggests the quality isn't added from outside but belongs essentially to the thing itself: Certain powers inhering in the office cannot be delegated.
The base form is inhere.
