Definition
Tail Risk is both an informal term denoting unusually occuring tail events and a more precise team denoting concreate classes of risk measures.
Etymology
The term Tail Risk likely originates from the classification of probability distributions into fat-tailed and thin-tailed distributions, the "tail" of the distribution being regions away from the mean or median.
