prematuration1905

1905 Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. 16 147 We have a totally different sort of thing which could perhaps better be denominated ‘prematuration’, a state that results always from outside interference.

1909 Westm. Gaz. 3 Feb. 2/1 The systems followed in the schools of the leading civilised races of the world make for prematuration.

1938 R. B. Goldschmidt Physiol. Genetics ii. 207 Morgan..claimed a prematuration effect to explain irregularities in the inheritance of the gene [named] rudimentary.

1979 Diacritics 9 56 It focuses on the decisive effect of a distinctive temporal structure in sexual development, a proleptic or metaleptic structure marked by prematuration and deferral.

2003 Theriogenology 59 1568 It can be assumed that this double wave [of maturation] may reflect the presence of two oocyte populations with two different degrees of ‘prematuration’.

2. Prematurity at birth. rare.
