I work with a Japanese girl, Yumi, at my job, and we had a customer today that refered to his recently deceased wife, as his "late wife". Yumi Asked what late meant and I told her passed away/ or dead. Then I got to thinking... ...Why do we say late?? I understand the definition, but how did it get started? If you don't know please don't waste my time by answering. If you do know thanks in advance for making me just a little bit smarter!! Please don't put any links for an answer, I can't get to them. Just copy and paste the information if you don't want to type it all out!!
