"Tyros: From the Latin tiro, or "recruit." A tyro is a beginner or novice, whilst Tyros is Plural. The phrase tends to be used rather negatively as in, "Even a complete tyro shouldn't make a basic mistake like that."
The first reference to the word Tyros in amusical sence is found in the 1912 printing of the book "Choice Readings" edited by Robert McLean Cummock, L.H.D. And originally copyrighted in 1878; on page 32 it applies the word "tyros" to neophyte piano players in training."
