Where does the word "elder" come from?
"Elder" as an adjective meaning "more old" comes from Old Englisheldra, with the same meaning (which itself is the comparative of eald, "old"). The noun form meaning "elderly person" comes from the adjective and appears around 1200. A second form of the noun, meaning "a type of berry tree," derives from the Old English ellæn, which means "elderberry tree." This form appears around 1400. The OED lists 24 different meanings for the word - 14 nouns, 8 adjectives, and 2 verbs. The noun form acquires the meaning "the udder of a mare or cow" in 1673, and "the first player in a card game" in 1589. The adjective gains the meaning "earlier" in 1400 and the obsolete meaning "transferred" in 1719. The verb can mean "to begin to show old age", appearing in 1876. The earliest written use of the noun meaning "a type of berry tree" is in 1673, in the writings of John Ray, theologian and naturalist. Links.
