About which I was told, by Donna White:
  Perhaps we are all allowed our own interpretation.  Whatdya theen abot
  tht?
  
Sure.  But, let us do so in an informed way.

anach.ro.nism 
   [prob. fr. MGk anachronismos, fr.  anachronizesthai to be an
   anachro]nism, fr. LGk anachronizein to be late, fr. Gk ana- +
   chronos time 1: an error in chronology; esp : a chronological
   misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each
   other 2: a person or a thing that is chronologically out of place -
   anachronistic aj

We combine items that were from separate times and places, that would
otherwise be anachronistic.  Like my marriage between a 1384 Savoyard and a
late 16th century Italian...

It doesn't mean to just lay down the boogie from anywhere and anytime and
call it period.  Does it?
