"Sprezzatura is an Italian word originating from Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as “a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it."

What if one attains “it” without any effort, therefore, there is no need to “conceal” the skill? Is there a word for it? Natural?
