Start to mature? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pre

'start to mature?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pre that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning before" , "Combining form meaning before" , "Before, prior to" , "Before starting" , "Before or ahead of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily, the Thinks.com and the LA Times.
