In a way that is part of the basic nature of something and cannot be separated from it.
Gebruikspatroon:
be inherently [adjective]
Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes confuse "inherently" with "inherited" or "inherit," but "inherently" does not relate to receiving something from parents; it means something is part of a thing's basic nature. Another common mistake is placing it before a noun instead of an adjective, for example "an inherently risk job" instead of "an inherently risky job." It is most natural after the verb "be" and before an adjective: "The task is inherently dangerous."
