There seemed to be relatively few [1]octogenarians and nonagenarians alive in the early 1930s. Contrast that with my current practice, in which I see a great number of patients in their eighties and nineties. --Stephen L. Richmond, "Tales from the Death Certificate," Physician Assistant, January 1999 Good health is essential, of course--a gift that none of these nonagenarians, having outlived friends and loved ones, takes for granted. --Roy Huffman, "Working Past 90," [2]Fortune, November 13, 2000 _________________________________________________________ Nonagenarian derives from Latin nonagenarius, "containing or consisting of ninety," from nonageni-, "ninety each", ultimately from novem, "nine," as in November, originally the ninth month of the old Roman calendar.
