  OBSOLETE, adj.  No longer used by the timid.  Said chiefly of words. 
  A word which some lexicographer has marked obsolete is ever thereafter
  an object of dread and loathing to the fool writer, but if it is a
  good word and has no exact modern equivalent equally good, it is good
  enough for the good writer.  Indeed, a writer's attitude toward
  "obsolete" words is as true a measure of his literary ability as
  anything except the character of his work.  A dictionary of obsolete
  and obsolescent words would not only be singularly rich in strong and
  sweet parts of speech; it would add large possessions to the
  vocabulary of every competent writer who might not happen to be a
  competent reader.
