About This Root
From Latin lātum, the irregular past participle of ferre (to bear, carry). Highly productive through prefixed forms: relate (carry back), translate (carry across), legislate (carry law), correlate (carry together), superlative (carried above), and elation (carried up). The root hides behind many common words due to its irregular form.
