In literature, "innate" is often used to denote qualities or dispositions that are seen as inherent rather than acquired. It can describe natural traits in individuals—from an inborn ruffianism that shapes a character’s behavior ([1]) and an intrinsic sentiment of equilibrium that defines physical poise ([2]), to the abstract idea of pre-existing mental or moral capacities ([3], [4]). The word is employed to underline the distinction between natural, unchangeable characteristics and those formed by experience, as debated by thinkers concerned with inborn ideas versus learned knowledge ([5], [6]). Authors also use "innate" to evoke both positive virtues, such as kindness and nobility ([7], [8]), and negative tendencies like depravity or laziness ([9], [10]), illustrating its broad applicability to human nature and even extending to natural phenomena ([11]).
