nascent
含义: Just beginning to develop; recently formed or emerging.
Nascent describes something in its earliest stages of development, with the implication that it may grow into something significant. 'A nascent industry,' 'a nascent democracy,' and 'nascent talent' are standard collocations. The word carries an optimistic or at least neutral tone — it suggests potential and growth rather than weakness. In chemistry, 'nascent' describes an atom or molecule at the moment of formation, in a particularly reactive state.
