Answer

ADULT

This word describes a fully grown person who has reached maturity, typically used to distinguish someone from a child or minor. It comes from the Latin word 'adultus,' the past participle of 'adolere,' meaning to grow up. The term can function as both a noun and an adjective, as in 'adult supervision' or 'the adults in the room.'

Strategy Tip

Today's word has two vowels including both A and U. Starting words that test multiple vowels at once, like AUDIO or RAISE, can quickly help you narrow down the vowel positions, which is especially useful for common everyday words.
