Usage notes

In casual use, lag and latency are used synonymously for “time delay between initiating an action and the effect”, with lag more casual. In formal use, latency is the technical term, while lag is used when latency is greater than usual, particularly in internet gaming. When used as a comparative to refer to the distance between moving objects “lag” refers to a moving object that has not yet reached the reference object position, whether linear or rotational. The term “latency” is not used in technical jargon for linear or rotational distance. The neutral term “displacement” can be used ambiguously and may refer to the distance between objects without indicating direction. In this use, “lag” “lags” and “lagging” are the complements of “lead”, “leads”, and “leading”. For example “For any AC power system, at all reactive loads the current waveform has a phase displacement or power factor to the voltage. An inductive load has a lagging power factor, while a capacitive load has a leading PF.”
