What does OLDISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Beyond youth without being truly aged; fairly advanced in years or in use.
The suffix in oldish softens the claim, so the word fits a person in later middle age or a car that has seen better days. Writers choose oldish when an exact age is unknown or unimportant, and the effect is gently vague rather than blunt. Oldish can describe things as well as people, such as a jacket, a recipe or a house.
