eldestadjective
người lớn tuổi nhất
/ˈeldɪst//ˈeldɪst/The word "eldest" has its roots in Old English. In Old English, the word "eldest" was spelled "ældest" and was derived from the words "æl" meaning "older" and "est" meaning "most" or "greatest". This combination of words formed the word "ældest" which meant "the oldest" or "the most senior". In Modern English, the spelling of the word changed to "eldest" and its meaning remained the same. Today, the word "eldest" is used to describe the oldest child or sibling in a family, but it can also be used to describe something that is the most ancient or the most senior in rank or position. The word "eldest" has been in use since the 9th century and has remained relatively unchanged over time. Its Old English roots give it a sense of antiquity and respect, making it a fitting word to describe someone or something that holds a position of authority or seniority.
