Morphology

latest = late (transparent) = late + est

Formed regularly from 'late' with the superlative suffix '-est'; meaning 'most recent' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Latest comes from the old word late, which meant 'after', and the ending -est means 'most'. So latest is like 'most after something', which helps you remember it means 'the most recent'.
