To anachronize
Definition
To introduce an anachronism into a literary, historical, or cinematographic work; to place an event, object, idea, or person in a different historical era than the one to which it truly belongs. In the reflexive form, it defines the action of a phenomenon, custom, or system becoming obsolete, outdated, or completely unadapted to the requirements and spirit of the current time, thus losing its structural utility in the present.
