Archaismus (German)
"Archaismus" has a slightly different meaning: 'ancient linguistic form or meaning of a form; word that is out of use'. It can denote something that is still there (other as "Historismus"). Example: "Burgfräulein" 'lady of the castle' = Historismus; "Backfisch" 'teenager' = Archaismus (was used in the 1950s). Both can be used with pragmatic connotations (as indicated in the French glosse).
