means Describing someone older or more advanced in rank, age, or standing — or, in school, a student in the final year before graduation.

from Straight from Latin senior, the comparative of senex, 'old man' — literally 'older.' That same senex root branches out into a whole family tree of aging: 'senile,' 'senate' (originally a council of elders), and the Spanish 'señor' and Italian 'signore,' polite titles that once just meant 'the elder one.' English borrowed 'senior' through medieval Latin, where it long marked the older of two people sharing a name — hence 'Senior' and 'Junior.'
