Hoary
<or-ree>
antiquated; old; grizzled;
something that is ancient.
The hoary recliner sat in the den for ages. Dad was not happy to find a new chair in its place.
Memory trick:
we say hooray when something exists a long time.
A hooray is a shout of cheer.
At work:
Our office felt hoary until we replaced everything. It was now bright and happy.
