word of the day: inhere

The word of the day is inhere:

to exist permanently and inseparably in, as a quality, attribute, or element; belong intrinsically; be inherent 

< Latin inhaerēre, equivalent to in- in-²+ haerēre to stick (dictionary.com)

"Consist in means to lie in or inhere in, to have as a defining attribute."
