BELATE Meaning and Definition

1. Belate is a verb that refers to the act of being late or causing delay. Specifically, it is the action of arriving after the expected or designated time. The term is derived from the combination of the morphemes "be-" and "-late," where "be-" denotes an intensifying or prolonging effect, and "-late" means behind schedule or tardiness.

   When someone is belated, it means they have arrived later than they were supposed to, missing a particular appointment, event, or a predetermined deadline. This verb can also be used to describe the delay or lateness of an object or action. For instance, a train can be said to belate if it does not arrive at its scheduled time.

   The usage of "belate" often emphasizes the regret or disappointment associated with being delayed or causing someone else's delay. It can imply a sense of inconvenience or disturbance caused by the lateness. Furthermore, "belate" can be a cautionary verb, advising against tardiness, as it conveys a negative connotation. It is important to note that "belate" is not as commonly used as its synonym "be late," but it serves as a substitute in certain contexts when one wishes to convey a slightly more formal or literary tone in their speech or writing.

2. To make a person too late.
