How can DEL come from "deferre"?[edit]

DEL; from Latin deferre "to bear or bring away or down") babbage (talk) 14:17, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Latin verb has a suppletive declension, meaning some of its forms are built from different stems. The four principle parts are dēferō dēferre dētulī dēlātum. The English adjective "delative" is derived from the fourth principle part. EstendorLin (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
