Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the late 1960s by physician Robert N. Butler, combining the English root 'age' (derived from Old French 'aage', ultimately from Latin 'aetas') with the socio-political suffix '-ism' modeled after terms like racism and sexism. It originally described discrimination against the elderly, though its semantic scope has since expanded to include prejudice against any age group.
