Word origin
The word 'intrinsically' comes from the Late Latin word 'intrinsecus', meaning 'inwardly'. It first appeared in English in the early 17th century. The prefix 'in-' signifies 'within', while 'trinsecus' refers to being situated on the inside. Over time, the term has come to represent something that is essential, inherent, or natural to a person or thing.
