Definition[edit | edit source]

The term "younger" is derived from the Old English word "geongra", which means "junior" or "later born". It is used to describe someone who is of a lesser age than another person. This can be in the context of familial relationships, where one sibling is referred to as the "younger" sibling in comparison to their older siblings. However, it can also be used in a broader context to describe anyone who is of a lesser age than another person.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The term "younger" is often used in the context of familial relationships. For example, in a family with three children, the first born child would be the "older" sibling, while the second and third born children would be the "younger" siblings. The term can also be used to describe the relationship between parents and their children, where the parents are the "older" individuals and the children are the "younger" individuals.
