1. 1長成的、成年的(指體型,不是指本事)

    A full-grown animal, plant, or person has reached their adult size and will not get bigger. A full-grown cat is as large as that cat will get; a full-grown oak is a tree, not a . You are talking about the body, not about skill or job. A child can be clever and still not full-grown; a full-grown man can still be new at his work. It is ordinary, slightly descriptive English — fine in speech and in writing about nature, farming, or people. American English uses full-grown a lot; fully-grown is the same idea and is common too, especially in British English.
