Question

precocious Everyone agrees that their seven-year-old daughter is smart and precocious, but she's also getting rather full of herself. prɪˈkoʊʃəs

Accepted Answer

Showing the qualities or abilities of an adult at an unusually early age. Growing from a child to an adult is like the slow ripening of fruit, and that's the image that gave us precocious. The word is based on the Latin verb coquere, meaning “to ripen” or “to cook,” but it comes most directly from the adjective praecox, which means “ripening early or before its time.” Precocity can occasionally be annoying; but precocious children don't come precooked, only “preripened.
