Etymology

The combining form -year-old dates from Middle English (ȝeer old(e), yeer old(e), yere old(e)).

noun

  1. 1

    Someone or something of the age of one year.

    The year-olds were promising; but as fillies alter much after that age, it is uncertain how these may turn out.

    The year-olds are put into pens by themselves, so that when breeding time comes the addition of the cockerels is all that is necessary.
