👉 The word "age encrusted" means something that is so ingrained, hard-wired, and unchanging that it becomes indistinguishable from its original state, like a rock you've been sitting on for years. Think of it as the phrase used when someone says they're "as good as they've always been," or "this is the way things have always worked out for me."
An example sentence using this word could be: "I can't believe I still remember how to read by the time we were both in college." This statement implies that despite living through several decades, she still remembers how to read like a pro.
