Etimologia
The verb "to delay" comes from the Old French word 'delaier,' which means to postpone or defer. This in turn traces back to the Latin 'differre,' composed of 'dis-' (apart) and 'ferre' (to carry). Did you know that the concept of delay has always been tied to the idea of carrying something away from its original time or place?
