Adolescent और adult एक ही जड़ के हैं: adult बड़ा हो चुका, adolescent अभी adult बनता जा रहा है। '-escent' = बनता हुआ।
Adolescent and adult share one root: an adult has grown up, and an adolescent is still growing up into an adult. The ending '-escent' means 'becoming'.
Exam note

SSC places it beside juvenile, infant and octogenarian in age-related questions; the stage itself is adolescence.
