geriatric
의미: Relating to the medical care of elderly people, or used as a noun to refer to an elderly patient. In informal British English, it is sometimes used disparagingly to mean old and decrepit.
Geriatric medicine, or geriatrics, is the medical speciality concerned with the health and wellbeing of older adults. The term is neutral in clinical settings, where 'geriatric assessment,' 'geriatric ward,' and 'geriatric consultant' are standard phrases. However, in colloquial use, calling someone 'a geriatric' is considered offensive. The related noun 'geriatrician' denotes a specialist in this field.
