Latent is an adjective describing something that exists, is present, or is dormant—like a hidden talent, a resting virus, or a quiet disease stage—waiting for the right conditions to become active or visible.
Latency is a noun that refers to the state of being latent, or more commonly, the time delay or lag between a cause and an effect (such as the time it takes for data to travel across a network or for a disease to reactivate).
Let me help you out. Latent is a word hijacked by illiterate tech bros who wanted an upscale and more sophisticated way to say delayed. They think it mean late. Because they’re ignorant and pompous and not interested in learning.
