Quick question: opposite of anachronism

[tamaranth]

I wish to applaud someone for using a metaphor firmly grounded in the period in which their fiction is set. Is there an opposite of anachronism? (Logic tells me 'chronism', but I am unconvinced. Though a search on it did lead me to Langmaker, a Wiki about created languages, which is distracting fascinating.)

Nice! That might well do it. Or just 'congruous', as I may also mention how very in-character this particular turn of phrase is.

Yes, congruous covers it all if you want to refer to characterisation as well.
