a person or a thing that exist but is chronologically out of place
A name whose use is chronologically incongruous. The appeal of Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popping corn, for example, is inextricably tied to its old-fashioned moniker. Roman Meal bread is another clear case of this technique. [Greek ana- + chronos "time"
