What stems are in the word tyranny?
Tyrant (in the modern understanding meaning one who rules as a despot or dictator, in a negative connotation) comes from Latin tyrannus which means "leader or master". The key to understanding it most comes not from Latin but from the Greek tyrranos which in the original connotation referred to someone who assumes the role of a king or master when they did not actually deserve it. In our modern understanding, you of course have "tyran" which is the root of the original Latin word, and then of course "ny" on the end, which refers typically in English to the act of doing something as opposed to the "nt" ending in "tyrant" that refers to a person related to the action. As an example, Tyrant is to Tyrrany as Misogynist is to Misogyny. Or perhaps as a Militant is to Militancy.

What does the latin root umor mean?
The Latin word umor is a variant form of humor; both mean "moisture, liquid, bodily fluid or discharge".

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.
