One arriving after the appointed time (9)

I believe the answer is:

latecomer

(Other definitions for latecomer that I've seen before include "Ace Merlot (anag)" , "Person arriving behind time" , "Recent convert" , "One who arrives tardily, not punctually" , "Delayed arrival" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
