Choate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Choate is a word in the English language meaning the opposite of inchoate. Inchoate means not quite perfectly formed, or a poor copy of something else. It may not be perfectly formed as it is in its early stages of development. The term inchoate can refer to something that is meant to be a copy or proxy for something else, but which fails to replicate its behaviour accurately.
