Root Explanation

Natured → It is formed from "nature" (from Latin *natura*, meaning birth or character) and "-ed" (a suffix used to form adjectives indicating a quality). The word "natured" describes someone characterized by a particular nature or disposition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'nature' as the essence or character of a person, and the '-ed' suffix indicates a quality, so 'natured' refers to someone who embodies a certain character.
