@Pfftallofthemaretaken I thought it was archaic too, but if you search on Google Books for 21st century results, it finds a lot of modern uses. Yurivict (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Yurivict Lots of them seem to be quotes from old translations of Newton, some quotes from the Qur'an, reprints of old books, and I also spotted the following phrase: "«чувствилище» (я употребляю старый термин)". Looks pretty archaic to me. that guy 22:16, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
I added two modern book citations. It appears they use this word in the literature, plus I heard it on the radio in medical context "в организме есть чувствилище реагирующее на концентрацию xxx". It is just rare and maybe also literary. Yurivict (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
The first quote is from a writer born in 1924, and the book quoted was the last one he wrote. The second 'book' is some pulp from an obscure writer (I understand it shouldn't be particularly relevant for lexicographers, but just for the record) who's probably quoting a term she read in some old book somewhere. To me, it's still archaic, but given the political, social, and educational climate in Russia, we might be a step away from reintroducing опричник into the everyday lexicon. To summarize, I'm not gonna start an edit war if you remove archaic from the first definition. that guy 13:39, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
I am not into edit wars either. There are more important things to be busy with. Yurivict (talk) 16:30, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
