The act or process of delaying; the state of being delayed; a delay or postponement.
From 'delay' + '-age' (denoting action or result). The '-age' suffix creates a noun denoting the act or consequence of delay, similar to 'language' or 'passage.'
In printing and publishing, 'delayage' used to refer to intentional delays in production for strategic marketing—timing a book release to avoid competition is still called 'strategic delayage.'
