可以想成一個畫面：一群人裡面，有一個人比誰都待得久。這個字指的就是「那段長長的年月」。而從同一段年月，可以看出兩件不同的事。一件是年月給了他什麼：門道、老故事、沒人寫下來的規矩。另一件是年月對他做了什麼：他變老了。英文用同一個親切的口語詞把兩邊都涵蓋進去。From the word’s history
Recorded in the source as old + time + -er, literally the one with a long time behind them.
來源資料記為 old ＋ time ＋ -er，字面上就是「身後有很長一段時間的人」。這正好是兩個意思共同的起點：年月久。
