| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) late | after the expected time, or, before a name, no longer living, as in "the late king" (neither sense fits inventions that are changing the field now) | The train was two hours late. |
| (2) latest (answer) | the most recent | Have you seen the latest model of this phone? |
| (3) later | coming after something else ("the later inventions" would need an earlier set to compare with) | We will discuss the plan at a later meeting. |
| (4) latter | the second of two things already mentioned (the sentence names no pair) | Of tea and coffee, I prefer the latter. |
