NATURALISED Meaning and
Definition
-
Naturalised, as a verb, refers to the process by which an individual who is not originally from a particular country becomes a legal citizen of that country. It involves the granting of citizenship and typically requires the completion of certain legal procedures and fulfilment of specific criteria. These criteria may include a certain length of residency, an understanding of the country's language, passing a citizenship test, and demonstrating good character. Naturalisation allows individuals to enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as native-born citizens, such as the right to vote, access to social benefits, and the ability to work without restrictions.
In a broader sense, naturalised can also refer to the act of adapting or becoming accustomed to a new environment or culture. When someone becomes naturalised to a situation, they grow comfortable and familiar with it. This can occur in various contexts, including adjusting to a new job, social group, or lifestyle. It entails becoming integrated or assimilated into the new surroundings, understanding the norms and values, and adopting the practices and customs.
As an adjective, naturalised describes something that originated in a different place but has been successfully introduced to a new environment and has become established there. For example, a naturalised plant species refers to a non-native plant that has thrived and integrated into a foreign ecosystem, often without causing harmful effects to it. Similarly, naturalised birds or animals are species that have adapted and reproduced successfully in an area outside their original range.

Etymology of NATURALISED
The word "naturalised" comes from the root word "naturalize", which is a combination of two Latin words: "natura" meaning "nature" and "izare" meaning "to make" or "to act as".
The term "naturalize" was actually first used in the field of botany in the late 18th century. It referred to the process of introducing and cultivating foreign plants in a new environment, allowing them to grow and thrive as if they were native to that area.
Over time, the term "naturalize" started being used metaphorically to describe the process of granting citizenship or legal status to foreign individuals in a new country. From this, the word "naturalised" emerged as the past participle form of "naturalize" and is commonly used to refer to individuals who have gained citizenship or legal status in a country other than their birthplace.
