age-related
UK: ˈeɪdʒ rɪˌleɪtɪd | US: ˈeɪdʒ rɪˌleɪtɪd
adj. connected with or caused by the process of aging
adj. occurring or becoming more common as a person grows older
The word combines "age," derived from Old French "aage" (ultimately from Latin "aetaticum," meaning "time of life"), with "related," from Latin "relatus" (past participle of "referre," meaning "to bring back or connect"). The compound emerged in modern English to describe phenomena linked to aging, reflecting a logical pairing of "age" (the condition) and "related" (the association).
