The term "dotard" has long been used in literature to colorfully denote senility or foolishness, often with a biting or satirical edge. Early examples, such as Rabelais’s dismissive call in "Gargantua and Pantagruel" ([1]), establish its role as a contemptuous label for clumsy or senile individuals. This derogatory tone is echoed in Carlyle’s historical narrative, where “old dotard” underscores perceived political incompetence ([2]), and in Scott’s "Ivanhoe," where the term is wielded both to scold and to ridicule characters perceived as out of touch ([3], [4], [5]). Moreover, its use by thinkers like Rousseau ([6]) and Pope ([7]) invites broader reflections on the vulnerabilities of aging, while more nuanced applications appear in works such as those by Stendhal ([8]) and Shaw ([9]), where self-deprecation or irony layers the simple insult. Even in the formal or quasi-official context of Jefferson’s Declaration ([10], [11]), the word is cataloged as if it were a technical entry, highlighting its enduring presence across genres and epochs.
