过时 (guò shí) — outdated, out of fashion, old-fashioned; past the deadline, later than the agreed time
Definition
过时 covers two senses: 'outdated/out of fashion' (styles, ideas) — similar to 老 and 陈旧 but specifically about being behind the times. Also 'past the deadline', like 过期 and 逾期, but applies more to events than documents.
