Question

im not sure how thats spelled. its supposed to happen when your old.

Answer 1

it means you cant spell and are going to lose your mind and end up in a nursing home, drooling in your sneakers

Answer 2

its senile. Its not really a medical diagnosis since senility can be caused by dementia, alzheimer's disease or cerebral atherosclerosis amongst other things. However it is a layman's word used to describe the reduction in mental capacity that occurs with old age.

Answer 3

Senility, which mostly occurs in older people, is an impairment of thought processes, decision making ability, judgment -- and, most apparent, memory loss.

Alzheimer's disease also is referred to as senile dementia.

The root of the word is the Latin "sen," which means "old."

senilely adv.
Word History: In earlier writings one finds phrases such as “a senile maturity of judgment” and “green and vigorous senility,” demonstrating that senile and senility have not always been burdened with their current negative connotations. These two words are examples of pejoration, the process by which a word's meaning changes for the worse over time. Even though senile (first recorded in 1661) and senility (first recorded in 1778) initially had neutral senses such as “pertaining to old age” (the sense of their Latin source, the adjective senlis), it is probable that the mental decline that sometimes accompanies old age eventually caused negative senses to predominate. Although recent medical research has demonstrated that the memory and cognitive disorders once designated by senility are often caused by various diseases rather than the aging process itself, it seems unlikely that the word will regain its neutral senses.

Answer 5

All too often "senile" is confused with "dementia". Dementia is most common among the elderly, while senility can occur at any time in your life. It's not necessarily a "disease" or disorder, it's more of a condition.
