What is the antonym (opposite) of the word ‘Punctual’?

Explanation

‘Punctual’ describes arriving or doing something at the agreed or expected time, so its opposite is ‘late,’ meaning arriving after the expected time, as in ‘He was always punctual, unlike his consistently late brother.’ The other options, ‘prompt,’ ‘timely,’ and ‘efficient,’ are all related to being on time or effective, making ‘late’ the clearest antonym.
