"Younker" is an English term for a young and inexperienced person that dates back to the 15th–16th centuries. It comes from the Middle English "yongker," a diminutive of "young," literally meaning "young one" or "youth." Historically, it referred to a young man of lower rank or a young nobleman in training, and over time it broadened to mean any inexperienced youth. The term is mostly historical or literary today, used in neutral or descriptive contexts, and is not considered offensive.
