What does this word in context mean?

"prime"

So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life.

This one sticks me out sore thumb.

Hello mosja,

"prime" here means "to prepare someone or something for the next stage in a process" or "to prepare somebody for a situation so that they know what to do, especially by giving them special information"

In your sentence, it means "..., she was prepared to start a new life"

Please look at the entry #1 in the following link:
