自然而然 (zì rán ér rán) — naturally, automatically, spontaneously
Definition
A set phrase meaning something happens 'naturally, on its own' without effort. It emphasizes the smooth, unforced outcome — unlike 当然 ('of course') or 自然 used as an adverb, it focuses on the process unfolding by itself, not on a logical conclusion.
