per se
By its nature
Per se is Latin for "by itself" or "in itself," used to indicate something considered intrinsically or essentially, apart from other factors.
Money per se doesn't make you happy.
Often appears after a negative to soften a statement: It's not a problem per se, just something to keep in mind.
