obsoleto
obsolete
adjective ob-zoh-LEH-toh Rare
Origin: From Latin obsoletus, 'worn out, disused'.
Also means
outdated
Usage Note
Obsoleto directly mirrors the English 'obsolete' and is used for technology, words, laws, or practices that are no longer in use. It is not a false friend but is slightly more formal than superato (surpassed, outdated) or antiquato (antiquated). Stress falls on the penultimate syllable: ob-so-LE-to.
Examples
"Questo sistema è ormai obsoleto."
Natural Translation
This system is now obsolete.
