👉 To put off until a later time; to defer.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek, At this word “delayed,” a concept we seek! The dictionary tells us, clear and bright, “To put off ‘til later,” with all its might. Think of a birthday, you've got plans to make, But decide to postpone, for goodness sake! You’re delaying the party, holding it back, Until a more suitable time, on a different track. Or maybe homework sits there, piling high, You tell yourself, “I’ll do it later, by and by!” That's "delayed," you see, a simple plea, To postpone action for a future decree. So "delayed" means to wait, to hold on tight, And move something forward with a little light... A bit later than planned, that’s the key, Understanding “delayed” is good for you and me! Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
