Hi everyone,
I know that this word means middle-aged, but I'm wondering if it means something more than that. Does it mean old man here instead?
The scene is this student sees the head of her school for the first time in the hospital.
مَنْ يُصدق أن هذا الكهل الضعيف هو نفسه -
- لابد أنه مريض جدا .
Thanks!

I don't know why you always give two points as a reward no matter what the answer is. I noticed that from previous answers! We give two points, for example, when there is only one answer and there are no "agrees" with it, to think the answerer for their time and effort!

قبل أن تضغط على زر disagree بكل ثقة كان حري بك أن تبحث عن معنى كهل باللغة العربية وهو من تجاوز سن الشباب ولم يبلغ يبلغ الشيخوخة بعد
