A fossil word is a word that is broadly obsolete but remains in current use due to its presence within an idiom, word sense, or phrase. An example for a word sense is 'navy' in 'merchant navy', which means 'commercial fleet'. An example for a phrase is 'in point' , which is retained in the larger phrases 'case in point' and 'in point of fact', but is rarely used outside of a legal context.
