Root Explanation

Agelong is formed from "age" (from Old French *age*, meaning a period of time) and "-long" (meaning extending over a distance or duration). The word "agelong" refers to something that lasts for a long period of time or throughout an age.

Memory Tip

Think of 'age' as a long period of time and '-long' as extending over that time — that's why agelong means lasting for a long time.
