Middle Liddell
ος, η, ον
youngest, Hom., Hes.—The orig. sense was perhaps (from ὅπλον), those capable of bearing arms, opp. to the old men and children, Il.:— but it soon came to mean simply younger or youngest; then, as the youngest are the last born, ἄνδρες ὁπλότεροι also means the latter generations, men of later days, Theocr.
