Definitions:

(1)
(nurture) help develop or growA particular sense of nurture is often contrasted with a particular sense of nature.
In the comparison, nurture refers to external influences on a person's development such as being loved, cared for, and taught. Nature in contrast refers to the inherent genetic influences on a person's development.
Studies of identical twins who grew up in different homes are used to better understand the influences of each. - (2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
