Etymology
Matur comes from the Latin adjective maturus, meaning ripe or timely. Romanian inherited it directly from Latin, keeping both the literal sense of ripe fruit and the figurative sense of a fully developed mind or character. The word has stayed close to its Latin form for two thousand years.
