Modern English uses this as a root in words such as gerontology (the study of the medical conditions of elder folk), and in the adjective geriatric, referring to an old person. — This unsigned comment was added by Allamakee Democrat (talk • contribs) at 21:40, 21 May 2008.

I've put gerontology in the descendants. Geriatric actually comes from a closely related term: γῆρας (gêras, “old age”). -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 03:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
