Nationality

/ˌnæʃəˈnæləti/ noun

Definition

The status of belonging to a particular nation by birth or naturalization

From French nationalité, from national + -ité, ultimately from Latin natio 'birth, nation'

Kelly Says

Nationality is all about where you're 'born into' - the word literally traces back to the Latin for birth, making us all citizens by birthright!
