archaicism
Archaicism is a linguistic term that refers to the use or retention of words, phrases, grammatical structures, or pronunciation styles that are outdated, obsolete, or no longer commonly used in contemporary language. It can also apply to styles, practices, or elements in literature, art, or culture that are characteristic of or resemble an earlier period. Archaic forms are typically used to evoke a sense of antiquity or old-fashioned charm.
