What is the Latin root word for tarry?

The word tarry has no connection at all with any word in Latin. It is from Middle English tarien, meaning to irritate or to hinder or obstruct. This in turn comes from Old English tergan, meaning to provoke or irritate - its distant origins are therefore from the ancient Germanic dialects of north Germany and southern Denmark.The use of tarry to mean "to delay or loiter" is relatively modern and American in origin; this has led to the incorrect impression that it is linked to Latin tardo, meaning "I delay", but there is no such link.

What does Shakespeare mean by the words tarry not?

To tarry means to wait, to stay. In Shakespeare's day, they did not usually use the auxiliary verb "to do" when expressing negatives. They used the word "not" placed after the verb. So you got things like "to have and have not" or "Do, or do not. There is no try." (Yes, that's Yoda, not Shakespeare, but it's the same language) So "tarry not" means do not tarry, don't wait or stay. In other words, get a move on.
