The answer

TRAIT

What trait means

A characteristic or quality that someone or something has, often inherited or deeply ingrained as part of their nature or appearance.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *trait*, meaning "a stroke" or "a pull," derived from Latin *tractus*, the past participle of *trahere* ("to draw" or "to pull"). The sense evolved from a physical mark or line to a distinctive characteristic or quality that "marks" or identifies a person or thing, ultimately entering Middle English and then Modern English with its meaning of an inherent attribute or feature.
