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