Belat

/bɪˈlæt/ verb

To make late or cause to be delayed; to arrive or cause something to arrive after the expected time.

From 'be-' (intensive prefix) plus 'late' (from Old English læt, meaning 'slow'). This follows the pattern of turning an adjective into a verb that intensifies or enforces that quality.
