to come of age
a. of (formerly also †at, †to) age: at the age at which one has an adult's legal rights and obligations (varying from period to period and region to region; in Britain and the United States now usually at 18 or 21 for most purposes). to come of age: to attain adult age and status; (in extended use) to reach full development or maturity. [After Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French d'age adult (12th cent.), having reached the age of majority (1293 or earlier, frequently in estre d'age ; French d'âge ); compare classical Latin suae aetātis and post-classical Latin aetatis esse (from late 12th cent. in British sources).
With to come to age (see quot. c1425) compare Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French venir en age (1283), venir a age (beginning of the 14th cent. or earlier).]
