Outside Italy, where it is mainly made at home with a moka machine and plain milk, a latte is prepared since the early 1980s with approximately one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk. Thus it has more milk than a cappuccino, and has a milder, milkier taste.
The evolution of this term (and this particular form of the beverage) is relatively recent and probably dates from the spread of the 1980s Seattle coffee craze to the rest of the United States (and beyond) via the growth of Seattle-based Starbucks. Some cafés create designs in frothed milk atop a latte.
A latte can be differentiated between a cappuccino and a flat white by the proportion of milk to froth. A latte is recognised as having about one-third espresso and one centimetre of froth exhibiting latte art, with the remainder of the beverage being steamed milk. A cappuccino will hold about one-third froth, one-third steamed milk and one third espresso. A flat white will hold no froth, with the serving container filled about one-third espresso and the rest with steamed milk.

Latte is the spanish word for milk. Very light coffee [lots of milk] is often referred to as a latte.

Latte is a type of coffee which is topped up with a lot of milk.
if you had a mug you will add 1/4 worth of coffee into it
(not pure coffee grounds you need to use a latte machine which will dilute the coffee grounds for you)
................and
the remaining 3/4 of the mug will be topped up with hot milk.

It's derived from Italian coffee.
In America, it's one-third espresso and two-thirds milk.
Latte, specifically, will get you milk in Italy.
Other places, it will get you an espresso-milk drink.
