Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:

落後 luò hòu CC-CEDICT · Mandarinto fall behind; to lag (in technology etc); backward; to retrogress

A separate source entry, shown for comparison. The same characters can carry different senses in Mandarin and in Cantonese; zimai does not align these senses.

CC-Canto includes this pinyin reference: luo4 hou4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
