New American Oxford Dictionary

latter

lat ter |ˈlatər ˈlædər | ▶adjective [ attrib. ] 1 situated or occurring nearer to the end of something than to the beginning: the latter half of 1989 | heart disease dogged his latter years. • recent: the project had low cash flows in its latter years. 2 (the latter ) denoting the second or second mentioned of two people or things: the Russians could advance into either Germany or Austria —they chose the latter option. ORIGIN Old English lætra ‘slower,’ comparative of læt (see late ). usage: Latter means ‘the second-mentioned of two. ’ Its use to mean ‘the last-mentioned of three or more ’ is common, but is considered incorrect by some because latter means ‘later ’ rather than ‘latest. ’ Last or last-mentioned is preferred where three or more things are involved. See also usage at former 1 .
