A '''parachronism'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> (from the [[ancient Greek|Greek]] {{lang|grc|παρά}}, "on the side", and {{lang|grc|χρόνος}}, "time")<ref>{{cite web |title=parachronism {{!}} Etymology of parachronism by etymonline |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/parachronism |access-date=2024-09-12 |website=etymonline.com |language=en}}</ref> postdates.<ref name=":0"/>{{Rp|page=9}} It is anything that appears in a time period in which it is not normally found (though not sufficiently out of place as to be impossible).

This may be an object, idiomatic expression, technology, philosophical idea, musical style, material, custom, or anything else so closely bound to a particular time period as to seem strange when encountered in a later era.  They may be objects or ideas that were once common but are now considered rare or inappropriate.  They can take the form of obsolete technology or outdated fashion or idioms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Parachronism, n. meanings, etymology, and more |url=https://www.oed.com/dictionary/parachronism_n?tab=meaning_and_use#31846971 |url-access=subscription |access-date=28 February 2025 |website=Oxford English Dictionary}}</ref>
