true-born
Born into legitimacy
True-born means native or authentic by birth, emphasizing someone's genuine origins or heritage: a true-born Texan, a true-born Englishman.
The term often carries pride or legitimacy—distinguishing the authentic from the adopted, naturalized, or pretender.
It can also intensify inherent qualities: a true-born fool.
