Italian term or phrase: termine tardo
Can anyone help with this? Here is the context:

Il termine rimarrebbe piuttosto generico senza l’aggettivo XXX, che qui, visto il riferimento ai XXX, sembra avere il significato di ‘lavorato in pietra’: sinonimo, forse, di XXX, che però è termine tardo.

Thank you!

late term
Explanation:
In riferimento a un periodo storico o a un indirizzo culturale nella sua fase finale.

Esempio:
La parola salume è un termine tardo latino che significa: prodotto conservato sotto sale.

La mia proposta:
The term would remain rather generic without the adjective XXX, that here, taking into account the reference made to XXX, seems to have the meaning of 'worked in stone': synonymous, perhaps, of XXX, which is, however, a late term.

It is expressed in this way in the following examples taken from Linguistics books:

- However, it is only in the late book of Chronicles that we find the *late term* XXX in this connection.

- Biblical passages with XXX or XXX are cited, an are explicated by the *late term* XXX. The evidence suggests that although lexemes based on XXX did occur in pre-exilic and exilic Hebrew, it was not until the post-exilic period that the verb […]

Also in:
The term structuralism is *a late term* that describes a particular philosophical / literary movement or moment. The term appeared in the works of French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss […]


If you goggle “late term” + Linguistics
You will find more books in English that use this expression for *termine tardo*.
