   2. Completely worked out; fully digested or prepared; ready
      for action; made ready for destined application or use;
      perfected; as, a mature plan.

      [1913 Webster]

   Syn: Ripe; perfect; completed; prepared; digested; ready.

   Usage: {Mature}, {Ripe}. Both words describe fullness of
          growth. Mature brings to view the progressiveness of
          the process; ripe indicates the result. We speak of a
          thing as mature when thinking of the successive stayes
          through which it has passed; as ripe, when our
          attention is directed merely to its state. A mature
          judgment; mature consideration; ripe fruit; a ripe
          scholar.
          [1913 Webster]
