"...has a few gray hairs."

Hi all,

The mistaken impression that till is a clipped form also has a few gray hairs. People started spelling it with an apostrophe in the 18th century, indicating they believed it to be a shortened form of until.

What does 'a few gray hairs' mean in this sentence?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

PBF
