Definition
Belonging to a time period other than the one being portrayed; chronologically out of place. Often describes something old-fashioned that seems inappropriate for the current time.
Etymology
From Greek 'ana-' (against) and 'chronos' (time), literally meaning 'against time.' First used in the 17th century to describe historical errors in literature and art.
Kelly Says
Break it down: ANA-CHRONIC-ISTIC - 'ana' means 'back/against' and 'chronic' relates to time, so it's literally 'against the right time.' Think of a knight in shining armor showing up to a modern office meeting!
