'Older' means having lived or existed for a longer time; advanced in years. It's the comparative form of 'old'. Think of it as being further along in life's journey 🛤️. It can refer to people, objects, or ideas. Being older often brings wisdom and experience 👴. However, age is just a number!
'Older' comes from the Old English word 'ealdor', meaning 'elder, senior'. It's related to the word 'old'. The suffix '-er' indicates a comparative degree, showing that something is more old than something else. The word has roots in ancient Germanic languages.
