A person who is partially grown but not yet fully mature; someone in the transition stage between adolescence and adulthood.
From demi- (half, partial) + adult. The prefix demi- comes from French demi and Latin dimidius (half), allowing the coinage of hybrid states or identities.
The term 'demiadult' captures something real about modern life—the way people can be legally adults while financially, emotionally, or developmentally still halfway grown, making it a perfect word for an age of extended adolescence.
