Archaic words are words that were once widely used, but are no longer part of the English language. Many archaic words were used during the Middle Ages, like when Shakespeare was writing his many plays. Some authors, like Tolkien, choose to use them if they are writing a story during that time period.

Beside above, why do words become archaic? The most common situation is where another word replaces the original, and therefore the usage of the original term dwindles until it becomes unusual to use it instead of the new term. The next most common situation is where a technological/sociological change makes the object to which the word points obselete.

Obsolete language refers to words and phrases that are never (or almost never) used anymore, whereas archaism refers to antiquated language that is still used, though usually just for specific purposes. For example, words like thee and thou are considered archaic.
