> numerous societies around the world who don't even have a word for "teen"
Arabic doesn't have a word for teens (not even a loan word), but they have a word for adolescence.
This may be a bit embarrassing, but I only recently understood the real meaning of "teenager". I used to think it's just an arbitrary word that has the same meaning as "youth".
