The word ripen means "to become ready to eat or use."We use the word when talking about fruits, such as bananas, strawberries, and apples. When a fruit is not yet ripe, it is not ready to be eaten because it is not sweet or soft enough. However, after some time, the fruit begins to change color, soften, and become sweeter. This process is called ripening. When a fruit is ripe, it is ready to be eaten or used to make other food.The word ripen can also be used to describe the process of something becoming fully developed or mature, such as ideas or plans.Example:"I am waiting for the bananas to ripen before eating them.""The idea for the new business took several years to ripen."
