                    "description": "(P. a.adv.) : ădŭlescens (only ădŏl- in the\n* Verb and part. proper), entis (gen. plur. usu. adulescentium, e. g. Cic. Tusc. 5, 27 al.: adulescentum,Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 130).\n* P. a., growing up, not yet come to full growth, young: eodem ut jure uti senem liceat, quo jure sum usus adulescentior, Ter. Hec. prol. alt. 3: uti adulescentior aetati concederet, etc.,Sall. H. 1, 11 (Fragm. ap. Prisc. 902).— Trop., of the new Academic philosophy: adulescentior Academia,Cic. Fam. 9, 8, 1.— Sup. and adv. not used.\n* Subst. comm. gen., one who has not yet attained maturity, a youth, a young man; a young woman, a maiden (between the puer and juvenis, from the 15th or 17th until past the 30th year, often even until near the 40th; but the same person is often called in one place adulescens, and in another juvenis, e. g. Cic. Fam. 2, 1, with Att. 2, 12; cf. id. Top. 7; often the adulescentia passes beyond the period of manhood, even to senectus; while in other cases adulescentia is limited to 25 years, Cic. Tusc. 2, 1, 2 Goer.:  ̏Primo gradu usque ad annum XV. pueros dictos, quod sint puri, i. e. impubes. Secundo ad XXX. annum ab adolescendo sic nominatos,˝ Varr. ap. Censor. cap. 14.  ̏Tertia (aetas) adulescentia ad gignendum adulta, quae porrigitur (ab anno XIV.) usque ad vigesimum octavum annum,˝ Isid. Orig. 11, 2, 4. Thus Cicero, in de Or. 2, 2, calls Crassus adulescens, though he was 34 years old; in id. Phil. 2, 44, Brutus and Cassius, when in their 40th year, are called adulescentes; and in id. ib. 46, Cicero calls himself, at the time of his consulship, i. e. in his 44th year, adulescens; cf. Manut. ap. Cic. Fam. 2, 1, p. 146): tute me ut fateare faciam esse adulescentem moribus,Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 67: bonus adulescens,Ter. And. 4, 7, 4: adulescentes bonā indole praediti,Cic. Sen. 8, 26: adulescens luxu perditus,Ter. Ad. 4, 7, 42: adulescens perditus et dissolutus,Cic. Tusc. 4, 25; Vulg. Gen. 34, 19; ib. Matt. 19, 20.—Homo and adulescens are often used together: amanti homini adulescenti,Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 94; Ter. Phorm. 5, 9, 53; Cic. Fam. 2, 15: hoc se labore durant homines adulescentes,Caes. B. G. 6, 28; Sall. C. 38; id. J. 6; Liv. 2, 6.— Fem.: optimae adulescenti facere injuriam,Ter. And. 3, 2, 8: Africani filia adulescens,Cic. Div. 1, 18 fin. The young Romans who attended the proconsuls and propraetors in the provinces were sometimes called adulescentes (commonly contubernales), Caes. B. C. 1, 23; 1, 51. Sometimes adulescens serves to distinguish the younger of two persons of the same name: Brutus adulescens,Caes. B. G. 7, 87: P.  Crassus adulescens, id. ib. 1, 52, and 3, 7: L. Caesar adulescens,id. B. C. 1, 8."
