Senescence

“Senescence” (sih-NES-uns) – from the Latin for “to grow old” – is the process of aging.

Example (as used by Randy Kennedy in a New York Times review of Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba by Tom Gjelton): “As the long senescence of Fidel Castro winds down, revolution seems to be back in the air, or at least cigar-smoked memories of it, from Havana to Hollywood.”
