Why “youthhood” is a great word
YOUTHHOOD — [Noun] The state or condition of being young, either in age or in spirit. From Middle English youthhede, youthede, from Old English ġeoguþhād (literally “youth-hood”), equivalent to youth + -hood. Unlike 'youth' (which names the period or the collective) or 'adolescence' (which charts a specific, turbulent passage), youthhood is the abstract essence of the condition itself. It is the supple bend of a green willow branch, the heedless speed of a bicycle down a hill, and the uncritical brightness of a morning—a condition defined more by its own imminent passing than by its duration.
