Congenitally

/kənˈdʒɛnɪtəli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to a condition or trait that exists from birth or is inborn; naturally or inherently.

Etymology

From 'congenital' (present from birth) with the adverb suffix '-ly.' Derived from Latin 'congenitus' (born together), becoming common in medical English from the 18th century onward.

Kelly Says

Medical dictionaries distinguish carefully between 'congenitally blind' (blind from birth) and 'congenitally deaf' (deaf from birth)—a single word that encodes whether someone was born with the condition versus developing it later.
