choate

Read a random definition: Hatsell's Precedents

A quick definition of choate:

Choate: When something is choate, it means it is complete and perfect. It has reached its full potential. The opposite of choate is inchoate, which means something is not yet fully formed or developed.

Example: The cake was choate, perfectly baked and ready to be served.

Related word: Choateness - the state of being complete and perfect.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Choate (koh-it or -ayt) is an adjective that means complete in and of itself or having ripened or become perfected. It is the opposite of inchoate.

Examples:

  • A fully grown tree is a choate organism.
  • After years of practice, the musician's skills became choate.
  • The novel was inchoate when the author first started writing it, but after several revisions, it became a choate work of literature.

The first example illustrates the definition of choate by showing that a fully grown tree is complete in and of itself. The second example shows that the musician's skills have ripened or become perfected over time. The third example demonstrates how a work of literature can start as inchoate, or incomplete, but with revisions, it can become a choate work.
