What is inherent?

What is inherent? Inherent is an adjective whose meaning is essential, inseparable characteristic, which only exists in relation to a subject, intrinsic to it. It is a word that can be used in relation to someone's personality, or the obligations and responsibilities required in a certain function or activity.
