Word: drivel/ decrepitude
Source: "American Media History," second edition by Anthony R. Fellow, chapter four, pg. 93.
Sentence: "When the militant Catholic archbishop John Hughes pushed the New York legislature to pass a measure to allow state funds to be used to support parochial schools, Bennett commented that 'his mind must be blinded to all facts-to all truths-save the dogmas and driveling of the Catholic Church in the last stage of decrepitude.' "
Definitions: drivel (vi., vt.): to let (saliva) drool.
decrepitude (n.): broken down or worn out by old age or long use.
My sentence: I cannot stop driveling when I smell fresh baked chocolate cupcakes.
Due to decrepitude my dog can not run as fast or jump as high as she did when she was a puppy.
