people who are inherently good at something without needing much practice or training; or things that come from nature rather than being made by humans.
From Latin 'naturalis' meaning 'of or by nature.' Used in English since the 1300s, it can describe both people with innate talents and things produced by the natural world.
In music, a 'natural' is a note that cancels out sharps and flats—it's the default, 'natural' state of a note, which is why calling someone a natural at something means they don't need to work against their grain!
Women labeled 'natural' caregivers, mothers, or secretaries to justify low pay and limited roles; essentialism obscured choice and opportunity structures.
Use 'naturals' (pl.) sparingly for demonstrated talent—avoid 'natural woman/girl' framing that conflates identity with predetermined capability.
