Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical universe, material world or material universe.

Nature is also generally distinguished from the spiritual or supernatural. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the galactic.

The first known use of physis is in Homer's Iliad, in reference to the intrinsic qualities of a plant. Later uses expanded to the "inherent" or "innate" character of things in general. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is a more recent development that gained increasingly wide use with the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), for example, is translated "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", and reflects the then-current use of the words "natural philosophy", akin to "systematic study of nature".The etymology of the word "physical" shows its use as a synonym for "natural" in about the mid-15th century: [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=physical
