Answer

NATAL

This adjective comes from the Latin word 'natalis' meaning 'of or relating to birth.' It is commonly used in medical terminology, such as 'neonatal' which refers to newborn infants. The word also appears in geographical contexts, as in the Natal province of South Africa, named because Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama reached it on Christmas Day.
