"Youngers" is a colloquial term often used in British English to refer to younger siblings or individuals who are younger in age than the speaker. Derived from the word "young," this informal designation implies a sense of familiarity or closeness with the person being referred to, emphasizing the speaker's role as an elder or superior figure.
The term can encompass both singular and plural forms, referring either to a single younger individual or a group of younger individuals. It is commonly used within families or close-knit social circles to distinguish between older and younger siblings or friends.
The use of "youngers" embodies a certain level of affectionate informality and may carry a slight connotation of protectiveness or responsibility for those who fall under this designation. By contrast, individuals referred to as "youngers" may perceive a sense of respect or deference towards their elder counterparts.
Due to its informal and localized nature, the term "youngers" is primarily used in British slang and may not be widely recognized or understood in other English-speaking regions. Additionally, it is more commonly employed in spoken language rather than formal writing.
The word "youngers" is a plural form of the noun "younger" which means a younger person or sibling. The etymology of "youngers" can be traced back to the Old English word "geongra" which meant "younger" or "later". This word eventually evolved into Middle English as "yonger" and later "younger". The plural form "youngers" is created by adding the suffix "-s" to "younger" to indicate more than one younger person or sibling.
