Hi, logophile!

Fusty describes something that feels old-fashioned or unmistakably out-of-date. The word once referred to wine that had gone bad in its cask, and that unpleasant whiff now lingers figuratively over rules that haven't kept up with the times. When a policy seems frozen in a bygone era, call it fusty and make room for fresh thinking!
