Learn English – Verb meaning the same as “to be late” or “to become late”

synonymsverbs

In other languages that I know there are verbs which describe the action of becoming late. They are more commonly used than adjective form that is used in English.

"To be late". Here "late" is adjective describing the state of someone.

Is there a verb meaning the same thing, (something in the form of "I lated to the class")?

If you're looking for something shorter than "be late", you may be out of luck. But it is of course possible to run behind schedule

M-W:

to arrive and/or leave later than the time that is expected
