OriginLate 18th century: humorously from Latin, literally 'at length'. In Latin tandem means ‘after a long time’ or ‘at length’. It first came into English as a slang term for a carriage drawn by two horses harnessed one behind the other—a ‘long’ set-up which inspired a pun on ‘at length’. A tandem is now a bicycle for two riders, one behind the other. The expression in tandem is still used today to mean ‘one behind another’, but is more common in the sense ‘together as a team’.
