Explanation: This word is an adverb derived from the noun 'ΓΕΡΩΝ' (geron), meaning 'old man' or 'elder'. The suffix '-ΩΣ' forms an adverb, indicating 'in the manner of' or 'like'. The final 'Τ'' is a coronis, indicating an elision of the conjunction 'τέ' (te), which means 'and' or 'also'. Therefore, 'ΓΕΡΩΝΩΣΤ'' means 'and like an old man' or 'also like an old man'. It describes an action or state as being characteristic of an old person.
Inflection: Does not inflect (adverbial form with elision)
