Etymology
Naturalistic comes from nature, which means 'the world of plants, animals, and the outdoors', and the ending -istic, which means 'in the style of'. So naturalistic means 'in the style of nature' and is used for art or writing that shows people or scenes as they really are, without making them perfect.
