Étymologie
The word "later" comes from Old English "lætra," the comparative form of "læt" meaning 'slow' or 'late.' Over time, it evolved to signify a point in time following the present. Did you know that its root is related to the idea of delay or slowness, which naturally fits with something occurring after an initial time?
