Hi Lisa. Any chance you could provide further information? American is my second language and it is hard to be sure what you need to know.


If you happen to be referring to dictionary words that are referred to as obsolete or archaic, and are asking what this means, it simply means the words are no longer in everyday use. This means you may come across them but nowadays they are only used in exceptional circumstances - perhaps in poetry, for instance, or in an historical novel.
