TARDY
What tardy means
Coming late or arriving after the expected or planned time.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *tardif*, meaning "slow" or "late," derived from Latin *tardus*, which carries the same sense. The Latin root may ultimately connect to a Proto-Indo-European base relating to delay or slowness, though the precise origin is uncertain. The word entered English in the 15th century, initially meaning "slow-moving" before shifting to its primary modern sense of "late" or "delayed."
