elderly

Adjective

 * 1) old; having lived for relatively many years.
 * 2) Of an object, being old-fashioned or frail due to aging.
 * 1) Of an object, being old-fashioned or frail due to aging.

Usage notes
Because the adjective elderly and (especially) the noun elderly are not entirely accepted endonymically (that is, among adults who are senior citizens), the word's exonymic use is increasingly avoided in favor of alternatives. Because the words senior (adjective or noun), old (adjective or noun), and senior citizen also occasionally elicit annoyance endonymically, the alternative older adults is increasingly relied on, at least until the euphemism treadmill might someday turn still further.
