Inherent
(redirected from inherence)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Derived from the essential nature of, and inseparable from, the object itself.

An object which is inherently dangerous is one that possesses potential hazard by its mere existence, such as explosives. By contrast, other objects are dangerous only when used in a negligent manner, such as a pipe wrench or baseball bat. The rule of Strict Liability is applied when accidents arise from objects that are inherently dangerous.

Superstar teen Jay Ferguson had been already sexualized through popular media before Clark stuck a poster of him near newspaper shots of Pamela Smart and her student-lover William Flynn--which isn't to say Clark's use of such material doesn't burn with the gasoline of his own complex erotics, but he is everywhere acknowledging that sexualization's inherence is what he's grappling with rather than denying or repressing it.
