Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined in the late 1960s by physician Robert N. Butler, combining 'age' (derived from Middle English/Old French from Latin aetas) with the suffix '-ism' (denoting a system, practice, or discriminatory ideology). The term emerged during the civil rights era to describe and categorize systemic discrimination against older adults, later expanding to include prejudice against any age group.
