I think you use "thee" as an object of a preposition.

Has the word 'thee' become archaic?

I'm afraid I'm not using the correct from of 'archaic'. How to call a word that has lost its true meaning or that has not been used now-a-days?

Has the word become ARCHAIC [or]
Has the word become ARCHAISM


Cambridge Online Dic. tells :

Definition
archaic [Show phonetics]
adjective
of or belonging to the distant past; from an ancient period in history:
an archaic system of government
an archaic law/rule/language

archaically [Show phonetics]
adverb

archaism [Show phonetics]
noun Coffee [C] SPECIALIZED
a word or expression that is not generally used any more

You'll say:
The word has become archaic
Or
The word has become AN archaism (but I would rather use this for an expression)

I know the former case very well.

Can you please give me an example for the latter case?
