Phrase: time and tide will wait for no man. 'Tide' is an archaic word equivalent to time.
Temp: Latin 'time'
Hist: history (derived from Greek 'witness')
'no man' is a reference to Homer's Odyssey and thereby Bloom. Ulysses is alluded to several times over the next few pages (if not throughout the entire book).
