OUTGROWN Meaning and
Definition
-
Outgrown is a verb that refers to the act of surpassing or exceeding the size, age, or capacity of something. It describes a situation in which a person, object, or idea has become too large or has developed beyond its previous limits or stage of maturity. This can pertain to physical growth, mental or emotional development, or even the functionality of something.
When applied to a physical context, outgrown suggests that an individual has become too big or tall for a particular size of clothing, shoes, or other items. This often happens during childhood and adolescence as the body undergoes rapid growth and requires larger sizes to accommodate its changing needs.
In a metaphorical sense, outgrown denotes a process in which a person or an idea has evolved and progressed to the point where it no longer fits within its previous environment or circumstances. This could refer to personal growth, when an individual has outgrown certain relationships or interests, or it could be applied to societal or cultural contexts, indicating that certain beliefs, practices, or institutions have become outdated or irrelevant to contemporary needs.
Outgrown can also imply the idea of surpassing a previous level of skill or ability. For example, a child who has outgrown their beginner's skis might require a more advanced pair as their skiing proficiency improves.
Overall, outgrown conveys the notion of moving beyond the limits or boundaries that were previously appropriate or suitable, indicating a natural process of change and development.
