ages
Matures over time
Ages is the plural of age, but more commonly appears as an informal intensifier meaning a very long time: I haven't seen her in ages, It took ages to get through security.
The expression suggests duration that feels excessive or noteworthy, though the actual time varies by context—ages might be weeks, months, or years.
