To 'fall behind those advancing in front' (see 'straggle/straggler'); 'to develop at a retarded rate in comparison with the more advanced'. Thus the common usage 'to lag behind' is a wordy tautology one should avoid. Where else can you lag? In front? Above? To the side? Being implicit in the meaning, 'behind' is a useless appendage there only to remind the dull-witted of the meaning of 'lag'.
