The prefix "sex" refers to the number six, as in sextuplets (six babies born at the same time), sextuple (one of six parts or sixfold). Therefore, a person between 60 and 69 years of age is called a sexagenarian.

A person who is 60 years old is typically referred to as a sexagenarian. The term "sexagenarian" is derived from the Latin word "sexagenarius," which means "sixty." It is commonly used to describe individuals who are between the ages of 60 and 69.
