Super!

There are many synonyms for the word, OLD.

Superannuated is one. It means obsolete, antiquated, or retired because of being old or ineffective. From Latin. Super means above or beyond and annum means year.

Antiquated has a negative implication, it means out-of-date, obsolete, or old-fashioned. From Latin.

Antique has a positive implication. It means ancient, made in an earlier period or old-fashioned, but means more valuable because of age. From Latin, thru French.

I will be examining more of these words as I continue to become more knowledgeable about anti-aging techniques.
