A archaism It is a word or type of expression that was used frequently in ancient times and that has resurfaced as a current mode of expression. For example: dock, bloody, conceited.
Archaisms are often used to embellish texts, although their abuse is not recommended as they can make understanding difficult.
It can serve you:
- Localisms (from different countries)
- Neologisms
