In language, an archaism is a word, a sense of a word, or a style of speech or writing that belongs to a historical epoch beyond living memory, but that has survived in a few practical settings or affairs. Lexical archaisms are single archaic words or expressions used regularly in an affair (e.g. religion or law) or freely; literary archaism is the survival of archaic language in a traditional literary text such as a nursery rhyme or the deliberate use of a style characteristic of an earlier age—for example, in his 1960 novel The Sot-Weed Factor, John Barth writes in an 18th-century style. Arc
An archaism is a word, phrase, or style of speaking that comes from an old historical period but still survives today, either in specialized fields like law and religion or in creative writing. Writers and speakers use archaisms either out of tradition—such as in nursery rhymes—or deliberately to evoke an earlier era, as when an author chooses to write in the style of a past century.
