Nature

The personified sum and order of causes and effects; the powers which produce existing phenomena, whether in the total or in detail; the agencies which carry on the processes of creation or of being; -- often conceived of as a single and separate entity, embodying the total of all finite agencies and forces as disconnected from a creating or ordering intelligence.

Conformity to that which is natural, as distinguished from that which is artifical, or forced, or remote from actual experience.

Hence: Kind, sort; character; quality.
