prirodzeného

Prírodzeného is a Slovak inflected form of the adjective prirodzený, meaning "natural", "innate" or "normal". The term appears in contexts describing qualities that arise from nature, birth, or inherent characteristics rather than from artifice or convention.

Grammatically, prirodzeného is the genitive singular form for masculine and neuter nouns in standard Slovak and is also used as the accusative singular for animate masculine nouns (which takes the genitive form). It appears in phrases such as "prirodzeného výberu" (of natural selection) or "znakov prirodzeného správania" (features of natural behavior). The form reflects regular Slovak adjective declension patterns for the hard-stem paradigm.

Etymology traces prirodzený to Slavic roots: the prefix pri- ("by, near") combined with a root related to rod‑ (birth, origin), giving a sense of something originating in nature or birth. Cognates with similar meanings exist in other Slavic languages (for example Czech přirozený), though exact spelling and inflection differ.

In usage, prirodzeného commonly contrasts with artificial, learned or socially constructed traits and is frequent in scientific, philosophical and everyday language when distinguishing innate or naturally occurring properties.
