  1. adolesce

    Adolesce is not a recognized English word. However, it appears to be an awkward derivation from adolescence, which is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood, typically ranging from the ages of 13 to 19. The actual term 'adolesce' is likely mistakenly used when the correct term is 'adolescence'.
