"Premature" is an adjective that means before the normal or expected time. It can be used to describe events, actions, or conditions that occur too soon or too early.
For example, if a baby is born too soon, it might be described as "premature". Or if someone jumps the gun and takes action before it's necessary or appropriate, that action could be described as "premature".
The opposite of "premature" would be "on time" or "timely".
