Talk:inherent

Antonym "extrinsic"

Is "extrinsic" a real antonym to "inherent"? "Inherent" is not synonym to "intrinsic"...

• intrinsic = essential, inherent = naturally a part of something. I think they're synonym enough. Musicguyguy 00:36, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Entry phrased like a noun?

The entry (an adjective) appears to be phrased like a noun. "A natural part or consequence of something" describes inherent as a "part," which is definitely a noun.
I've rephrased it to "Naturally a part or consequence of something." If this does not work, feel free to change it back. Musicguyguy 00:36, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
