adj. having a friendly, kind, and patient personality
adj. naturally pleasant and easygoing in temperament
The word "good-natured" combines "good," from Old English gōd (meaning virtuous or beneficial), with "nature," from Latin natura (birth, character). The suffix "-ed" turns the noun into an adjective, implying inherent qualities. Historically, it evolved to describe someone whose innate disposition is kind or agreeable, reflecting a blend of moral goodness ("good") and inherent temperament ("nature").
