Natural kind
In philosophy a natural kind is a grouping of things which is a natural grouping, not an artificial one. Or, it is something a set of things (objects, events, beings) has in common which sets it apart from other things as a real set rather than as a group of things arbitrarily lumped together by a person or group of people.
