Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French 'naturel', stemming from the Latin 'naturalis', based on 'natura' meaning birth or nature. It entered the English language in the late 14th century, initially referring to things in accordance with the nature of someone or something, and later expanding to describe the physical material world as opposed to the supernatural or artificial.
