Note: The expression 晚上 likely means "early in the night" in much the same way that 上午 means "before noon". In this sense the 上 character would indicate that part of the evening that comes before a later part. I do not know, if the expression 晚下 is used or not.

Note: Another expression for someone who is "advanced" in years is 先進 (sin-1 dzoen-3). This expression can also be employed with regard to technology -- meaning technology that is at an advanced stage of development.
