Mother Nature
Personification of nature as a nurturing, maternal force. Often used in poetic, environmental, or philosophical contexts.
Let us give thanks for the blessings of Mother Nature.
Mother Nature sometimes shows a harsh face.
Compound of 母 (はは, 'mother') + なる (archaic copula 'to be', equivalent to modern である) + 自然 (しぜん, 'nature'). Literally 'nature that is a mother'. The phrase is a calque from Western concepts of Mother Nature.
