### Clue: More than half reached the age of consent (8)
### Answer: MAJORITY 
 ### Explanation: Definition: More than half,the age of consent
 Double defn.
I think there is a slight discrepancy between the 2nd definition and answer. The former commonly refers to the age at which one is considered legally competent to consent to sexual acts, whereas the age of majority is the age at which one is legally an adult and is no longer the responsibility of one's parents or guardians. Of course, there could be some legal jurisdictions where the 2 coincide.
