Pity Octrogenarian has a holier than though attitude

Would it not have been just as easy to answer the question and help than write such comments, particularly when the search facility on the site is so sparse

If I knew the answer, I would tell you, but it has me stumped too, as I am not sure if it is castor sugar or caster sugar providing the 4th letter, but I am leaning towards aged as the answer

Yes definitely going for Aged

silver = ag.
"ed" comes from the word (Hair)ed losing hair (balding).

Also, when there is a question mark at the end, it often means the whole clue is itself the definition
