Answers

Answer 1
Answer: English is originally a combination of languages from three tribes: Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. The three of them moved to England and this resulted to what we know now as the English language. Then, the French came to the country. Latin was made the official language of the clerics. French and Latin words are then added to the language. After which, interaction with other countries (mainly through explorations) made them add more vocabulary for African, Asian, and other European countries. Now, English language borrow words from other languages to name things that don't exist in England. For example, tsunami from Japanese or siesta from Spanish.

Read these lines from Macbeth:The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:

Lated is likely a Shakespearian version of belated.
Lated is meant to suggest the travelers are important.
Lated, like knighted, is something bestowed.
Lated suggests the travelers themselves are not at fault.

Answers

By interpreting these lines into modern English language we'll get such an explanation: "There’s still a bit of daylight in the sky. All the late travellers want to get their accommodation quickly". Lated is used in Shakespearean English and means belated here. Belated is another version for lated which means happening later than it should be.
The word 'lated' is 'likely a Shakespearian version of belated'. It is a contraction, a shortened version of the word belated, meaning basically - late.
