Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of characteristics is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of characteristics, human activity is often understood as a separate category from the other natural tendency.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally designed "birth".Universo is a Latin interpretation of the Greek phrase physis (????? ), which actually related to the intrinsic characteristics that plant life, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own conform.Typically the concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it started out with certain key applications of the word????? by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This use continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several generations.
