Explanation

An anachronous attitude refers to something that is 'out of time' - belonging to a different time period than the present. The word comes from Greek roots: 'ana' (back) + 'chronos' (time). While 'out of place' is similar, 'out of time' more precisely captures the temporal meaning of anachronous.
