A nidus (NEYE-dus) is a place or core for the development of something in nature. For example, the nidus of a pearl is the original core from which the pearl develops.

Nidus is often used as a figure of speech to refer to the essential core of something.

In psychiatry, an hallucination lacks a nidus in reality, but a delusion has one.
