| 解释 | a.过早的，早熟的 |
| 红宝书 | 【英】 adj. 过早的, 早熟的(developing or happening before the natural or proper time) 【记】 pre（提前）+mature （成熟的） |
| 字源 | premature (adj.) mid-15c., from Latin praematurus "early ripe" (as fruit), "too early, untimely," from prae "before" (see pre-) + maturus "ripe, timely" (see mature (v.)). Related: Prematurely; prematurity; prematuration. Premature ejaculation is attested from 1848; Latin euphemism ejaculatio praecox dates to 1891 in English but was used earlier in German and appears to have been, at first at least, the psychologist's term for it. |
