Today's word is superannuated, spelled as one word S-U-P-E-R-A-N-N-U-A-T-E-D.

Superannuated is an adjective that means outmoded, old-fashioned. It can also mean incapacitated or disqualified for active duty by advanced age, or older than the typical member of a specified group. Here is the word used by Jamie Dettmer quotated in The Daily Beast.

"A handful of superannuated navy ships let rip with their ear-splitting horns, cheering the speedboats on, while military officers gathered on the pier to snap cellphone shots of the flashing hulls."

The word superannuated was first put to use in English in the 1600s, having been borrowed from Medieval Latin, the word superannuatus, the past participle of superannuari meaning "to be too old" - from the Latin super- meaning "over" or "above" and annus meaning "year." Shortly thereafter, we made our own verb, superannuate, from the adjective. Superannuate means "to dismiss or retire from service with a pension" as well as "to declare obsolete," meanings that are still in active service. Superannuated can mean "outmoded or old-fashioned," as in "superannuated slang" or the "superannuated navy ships" of our example sentence, or it can simply mean "older than usual."
