How Native
Surface Forms
Morphology
native = nat + ive
The adjective is formed with the productive suffix '-ive' from a combining form 'nat-' (relating to birth/origin) that is not a standalone English word, so learners cannot transparently derive the computing sense from known English bases.
Etymology
Native in computing borrows the same 'born here' idea from natus 'born'—a native app is one made for a particular device or system so it runs naturally and directly there.
