| definition | Part of something by nature or habit. |
| eg_sentence | A guiding belief behind our Constitution is that individuals have certain inherent rights that can't be taken away. |
| explanation | Inherent literally refers to something that is “stuck in” something else so firmly that they can't be separated. A plan may have an inherent flaw that will cause it to fail; a person may have inherent virtues that everyone admires. Since the flaw and the virtues can't be removed, the plan may simply have to be thrown out and the person will remain virtuous forever |
