Why?
It's a simple abstract coefficient void of any other "nature".
Postulating proportionality of physical observables "force" F and
"acceleration" a, we express it mathematically as F = ma
with help of the proportionality coefficient m.
Thus "m" simplifies the expression, but by itself has no physical, or
any other mysterious "nature".
