Late

I've never understood the term 'the late (person who died)'s name'.

Why does dying make you late? I even looked it up but there was little help there. Apparently, there is no consensus on the meaning.

Anyway, I am usually an early bird. I can't remember the last time I was late.

Good, thought-provoking prompt :)

    That's a good question, where did the use of 'late' in reference to the deceased come from? Thanks Deemarshall!

        I didn't even think about this use of the word late - and you are right. It doesn't make sense...

          No one seems to know why.
