Definition
young people in the process of developing from children into adults; teenagers
Etymology
From Latin adolescens, present participle of adolescere 'to grow up'
Kelly Says
Adolescent literally means 'growing up' in Latin - it captures that in-between stage perfectly, since they're actively in the process of becoming adults, not just waiting to be them.
