Etymology: from tardy.
He was indeed the glass,
Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves;
Speaking thick, which nature made his blemish,
Became the accents of the valiant:
For those that could speak slow and tardily,
Would turn their own perfection to abuse,
To seem like him. William Shakespeare, Henry IV. p. ii.
