Etymology

The French noun **retard** comes from the Old French verb *retarder* “to delay”, which itself is a direct borrowing from Latin *retardare* “to make slow, postpone”. That Latin verb is built from the prefix *re-* (again, back) plus *tardus*, meaning “late” or “slow”. In Middle French (14th c.) the verb form gave rise to the noun *retard*, preserving the sense of a “delay” or a time/location where something should have been.
