sumpsimus
Sumpsimus is a term used to refer to adherence to or persistence in using a specific word, phrase, or procedure despite it being rejected, considered obsolete, or replaced with a more contemporary version. Often, individuals continue to stick to their own preferred methods or conventions even if these are not the most practical or widely accepted. This term is derived from a Latin phrase used in the Christian liturgy, prompting its usage in religious contexts as well.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Sumpsimus
sump′si-mus, n. a correct expression displacing an incorrect but common one (see Mumpsimus). [L., 1st pers. pl. perf. indic. of sumĕre, to take.]
