What does INBORN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Carried from birth as part of one's make-up, the way a talent or a weakness of the heart is.
Inborn describes a trait, ability, or tendency that someone already has at birth, as opposed to a skill picked up through practice or a habit shaped by upbringing. It is often used of talent or temperament, an inborn gift for music or an inborn caution, to stress that the quality feels part of someone's nature rather than something taught. The word overlaps with innate but leans slightly more toward the literal idea of being there from the moment of birth.
