Instinct is behaviour that is inherited rather than learned. We might say that a person who often fights has an aggressive instinct. But the person may not have been born with a desire to fight - and, with a different home or school background might never have developed it.

An inborn pattern of behavior that is characteristic of a species and is often a response to specific environmental stimuli. An instinct is inherited.
