The English word "Tory" comes from the Irish word tóraí (historically spelled tóraidhe), which means "outlaw," "robber," or "pursued man". It derives from the Irish verb tóir, meaning "pursuit," as these outlaws were literally the men being hunted down by authorities.

Tory.
From the Middle Irish tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning outlaw/brigand/robber/thief.
Related to the Irish tóir, meaning pursuit, as outlaws were hunted.
They name themselves for what they are, thieves, and for what they should be, outlaws.
They're proud of it.

Tory started out as an insult meaning a thief, brigand or highwayman.
Then the party adopted it with pride.
Now they try to live up to its etymology.

As a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" since outlaws were "pursued men") that entered English politics during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681.

Tories are by definition dishonest. The names 'Tories' and 'The Tory Party', means "outlaw, robber or brigand", from the Irish Gaelic tóraidhe or tóraí. Nye Bevan knew the score :-
