Modern Torys are members of the Conservative party in the UK, the daughter of the Tory party. Tory comes from the Middle Irish "toraíocht" meaning bandit or outlaw, which comes from the verb "toraí" meaning to give chase. The modern Hiberno-English term "on the tear" meaning going out all night getting drunk has the same root.
Hope I haven't bored you to tears.
