tarryv.

Brit. /ˈtari/, U.S. /ˈtɛri/
Forms: Middle English–1500s tarye, Middle English–1600s tarie, tary, (Middle English tery, tare), 1500s tarrye, 1500s–1600s tarrie, Middle English– tarry.
Etymology: Of obscure origin: some would identify it with tary v. to irritate, or with tar v.2, tarre, Old English tęrgan to vex; to both of which the sense is an obstacle.It cannot be disputed that the Middle English forms of this verb are identical with those of tary v. ‘to provoke, irritate, harass, vex, excite’, both being in Middle English tery- , tary- (the spelling tarry being rare before 1500). Original identity with tary , and thus derivation < Old English tęrgan , would also account for the apparent identity of tarry and tarrow v., since both could go back to the Old English variant types tęrgan (tærgan ), tęrw(i)an (tærw(i)an ), with phonetic development according to the position of the g and w in different inflected forms: cf. harrow v.2 and harry v., worow and worry v. The consequent identification with Old French tarier might also help to explain the existence of the derivatives tarriage , tarriance , tarryment , with French suffixes (although it is to be noted that these appear as derivatives of tarry and not of tary ). But no sense in the least approaching ‘tarry’ occurs in Old English tęrgan , tęrw(i)an , or in Old French tarier , and the difficulty of deriving this sense from that of ‘provoke, vex, harass’ seems almost insurmountable. Some have suggested an influence upon tarry of the synonymous targe v.1, Old French targier ; but this seems impossible. Others, seeing that Middle English terwen , terre , tar v.2 and tary v. had both a (rare) sense (2) ‘to weary, fatigue, tire’ (as if influenced by Old English téorian , Middle English tiere , tere , tire v.1) have thought that this sense provided a connecting link between the notions of ‘vex’ and ‘delay, retard’; but there is nothing in the quotations to confirm this view, and the actual history of tarry in its existing sense remains unascertained.
Now chiefly literary in Great Britain, still colloquial in U.S.
†1. transitive. To delay, retard, defer, put off (a thing, an action); to protract, prolong. Obsolete.
