immatureness

/ˌɪmətˈjʊɹnəs/ noun

The quality or state of being immature; immaturity.

Word Origin From Latin maturus 'ripe, timely' — originally used of fruits ready to harvest. Immatureness is the state of not being ripe. The same root gives us maturity, premature (ripe before time), and maturation. The PIE root *meh- meant 'to ripen, mature.' The prefix im- is a form of in- 'not.'
