Maturescent

(2) The recent emergence of a critical phase in life called maturescence, situated between the ages of 40 and 65, is a by-product of social life in industrialized societies.
Maturity
Definition:
(n.) The state or quality of being mature; ripeness; full development; as, the maturity of corn or of grass; maturity of judgment; the maturity of a plan.
(n.) Arrival of the time fixed for payment; a becoming due; termination of the period a note, etc., has to run.
Example Sentences:
