puberty
意味: The period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction, marked by the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
Puberty typically begins between ages eight and thirteen in girls and nine and fourteen in boys, though considerable variation exists. The process is driven by hormonal changes orchestrated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The term frequently collocates with 'onset,' 'early,' 'delayed,' and 'precocious.' In informal speech, it often carries connotations of awkwardness and emotional volatility.
