passé

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   no longer fashionable, current, or generally admired

   The ornate sleeves were already considered passé by the next season.

Borrowed from French passe, the masculine past participle of passer, 'to pass.' Something passe has figuratively passed beyond its period of fashion or acceptance. English usually retains the French accent in careful writing.
