Latin words with "nat" generally involve the idea of "birth" or "begetting" (as in natus, "born"), from the Proto-Indo-European root *gen, in its so-called zero-grade form *gn- with loss of the initial g (the gsurvives in such words as genus "race, kind" and cognatus "born together"). Latin words with nat- from this source include:

Natalis "of birth"

Natio "a begetting" -> "a race of people"

Nativus "arising from birth"

Natura "birth" -> "inborn disposition"

"Nat" may also be from Latin natare "to swim," as in the word "natatorium" for a swimming facility.

"Nat" can also indicate the element sodium, from the Neo-Latin natrium. Used almost exclusively in medical terms such as "hypernatremia" meaning too high a concentration of sodium in the blood or "hyponatremia", too low a concentration of sodium in the blood. Natron is hydrated sodium carbonate, used in ancient Egypt in the mummification process.
