Etymology of DELATING

The word "delating" comes from the Latin verb "delatus", which is the past participle of "deferre". In Latin, "deferre" means "to report" or "to convey information". The term was later adopted into Middle English as "delaten", retaining a similar meaning of reporting or denouncing someone's actions, often in a negative sense. Over time, "delaten" evolved into the modern English word "delating", still referring to the act of accusing or reporting someone for misconduct.
