Etymology
ناضِج comes from the Arabic triliteral root ن-ض-ج (n-ḍ-j), which carries the sense of something reaching completion through heat or time, as in cooking or ripening. The word itself is the active participle of the verb نَضَجَ, meaning to ripen or to become fully cooked. Arabic is a Semitic language, so this root has no link to Proto-Indo-European.
