Definition
Belonging naturally to something; essential and inherent rather than external or added. Describes qualities that are built into the very nature of something.
Etymology
From Latin 'intrinsecus' meaning 'inwardly' or 'on the inside,' from 'intra-' (within) + 'secus' (alongside). The word literally means 'from within' and has maintained this sense of internal, essential nature since entering English.
Kelly Says
Think 'INTRINSIC' as 'INNER-sic'—it comes from the inner nature of something! Unlike extrinsic qualities that are added from outside, intrinsic qualities are like DNA—they're part of the fundamental makeup and can't be separated from the thing itself.
