   In the past, the old used to be looked upon as experts in solving various problems of life.

• 4.

• 13.
  Antonym素人しろうとNeutralAn amateur or layperson who does not do it professionally; opposite of 「エキスパート」 and 「玄人」 in degree of expertise.

For the most general word for an expert, use 「専門家」; 「エキスパート」 works for experts in any field, as in 「セキュリティのエキスパート」. For an insider or professional say 「玄人」, for a master of an art 「達人」, and for a layperson 「素人」.
