Etymology
Deferral comes from the verb defer, which has the Latin parts de- meaning 'away' and ferre meaning 'to carry'. You can see the same ferre in the common word transfer, which means to 'carry' something to another place. So a deferral is like 'carrying' an event 'away' to a later time, which is why it means a postponement or delay.
