Etymology of AM TARDY

The phrase "am tardy" is not a word, but rather a combination of the verb "am" and the adjective "tardy". "Am" is the first person singular present indicative form of the verb "to be", and "tardy" means being late or delayed. The word "tardy" originated from the Old French word "tardif", which means slow or coming late. It can be traced back to the Latin word "tardus", meaning sluggish or slow.
