Word origin

The word 'inherently' comes from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'herently' derived from the Latin 'herēns' meaning 'clinging' or 'adhering'. The term has been used in English since the 16th century to describe something that is an essential characteristic or quality of a person or thing.
