maturing

/məˈtʃʊɹɪŋ/, /mətˈjʊɹɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of mature

Word Origin From Latin 'maturus' meaning 'ripe' — think of fruit ready to pick. The verb 'maturare' meant to hasten ripening, and that's the idea behind maturing: something coming to its full, ready state. The same root gives us 'premature' (before ripe) and 'maturation', and the -ing suffix shows it's a process unfolding, like a cheese aging or a person growing up.
