the verb that admits you were never finished to begin with.

means The ongoing process of growing into or turning into something, or, as an adjective, describing something that suits or flatters a person.

from From Old English 'becuman,' meaning to come to, arrive at, or happen — a fusion of the intensive prefix 'be-' with 'cuman,' to come (a cousin of the modern 'come'). The sense of 'suiting' or 'flattering' grew from the older idea of something 'coming to' or befitting a person — what arrives upon you as if it belonged there. The philosophical sense, the state of perpetual change, leans on the Latin 'fieri' tradition but rides the same English root: to become is simply to keep coming.
