Etymology
From Middle English olde age, eld age, perhaps a partial translation of earlier Middle English olde elde (“old age”) and alderelde (“old age”), equivalent to old + age. Displaced non-native Middle English vilesse (“old age”) borrowed from Old French villesce, vieillece (“old age”), and Middle English senectute (“old age”) from Latin senectūs (“old age”).
