How to use "Dotage" in context?
Dotage is a term that commonly refers to senility, though the term has a much broader definition. Physically, dotage can refer to any stage in the aging process that results in a decrease in vigor, mobility, and cognitive ability. From a psychological perspective, dotage can be considered a stage of dementia, in which the individual's ability to think clearly and efficiently declines.
Because dotage can be associated with a number of physical and mental changes, it can be difficult to judge when an individual has reached the stage.
