How Central
Surface Forms
Morphology
lateral = later + al
Although formed with the suffix '-al', the combining form 'later-' is not a productive standalone English base and can be confused with the familiar word 'later' (comparative of 'late'), so learners are unlikely to infer 'relating to the side' from surface parts alone.
Etymology
The adjective lateral comes from the Latin root latus meaning 'side', and is the same root you see in bilateral ('two-sided'), so lateral describes something at or toward the side rather than the center.
