Etymology of BE LATED

The term "belated" is derived from two Middle English words: "be" and "laten". "Be" is an intensifying prefix, while "laten" means to let or allow. In the past, "belated" was used to describe something that was "delayed, detained, or kept back" because of circumstances beyond one's control. Over time, the meaning of the word shifted and now commonly refers to something that is late or tardy, often with a sense of apology or regret.
