Someone who outlived not just their enemies, but their doctors' predictions too.
means A person who has lived to 110 years old or beyond.
from Built from the Latin 'super' (beyond) plus 'centenarian' itself from 'centum' (hundred) — so literally someone who has gone beyond the hundred-year mark. 'Centenarian' had already been doing duty for a person turning 100; 'supercentenarian' is the 20th-century upgrade coined once demographers needed a word for those who kept going and blew past it.
