Nascent

nascent: [nās'ent] adj. having recently come into existence; beginning to exist or develop


Wandering through the west,
Did holy Paul a while in Britain dwell,
And call the Fountain forth by miracle,
And with dread signs the nascent Stream invest?

----William Wordsworth
Ecclesiastical Sonnets
II. Conjectures
