About Nascent
Someone with a nascent — or a new and growing — interest in something is probably just getting started learning its ins and outs. Starting your political career as an intern is definitely a good way to do that.
Did you Know?
Nascent sprouted from a Latin word meaning “to be born.” There are several other English words that share the same origins, such as native and natal.
