grown
IN BRIEF: adj. - (of animals) fully developed; arrived at full maturity; Having gradually become.
There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.
Tutor's tip: "Grown" (mature or older) people will certainly "groan" (a sound of pain) if they are hit in the "groin" (where the abdomen and the thighs meet).
