In this use, lag, lags, and lagging are the complements of lead, leads, and leading. The neutral term displacement can be used ambiguously and may refer to the distance between objects without indicating direction. The term latency is not used in technical jargon for linear or rotational distance. 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.
