Definition of maturation

maturationnoun

sự trưởng thành

/ˌmætʃuˈreɪʃn//ˌmætʃuˈreɪʃn/

The word "maturation" derives from the Latin word "maturitas," meaning ripeness or readiness. It entered the English language in the late 16th century as "matureration" and referred primarily to the process of grapes and other fruits ripening and maturing on the vine. The term's meaning subsequently expanded to encompass a wide range of processes by which an organism, substance, or idea develops and reaches maturity or completeness. Today, "maturation" is commonly used in fields such as biology, chemistry, and developmental psychology to describe the gradual transformation of a less complex state into a more complex, mature one.
