"Adolescence" is from the Latin word adolescentia, which means "youth". This in turn is from the present participle (adolescens) of the verb adolescere, which means "to grow, to mature". So adolescence is the time of growth and maturation.
The Romans, by the way, had very different ideas about adolescence than we do. For them it lasted from about age 15 to age 30. Only after that was one considered fully matured, or adultus.
