Looking into the dictionary brought up peculiar (not really), immanent and inherent. The three (can) have very similar meanings (for my english knowledge ) - these words withput peculiar exist in german, too. Which does not mean they can be interpreted similarly. But inherent as "existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute" is a perfect hit...
