タレ is a general term for thick, sweet-savory sauces (e.g., teriyaki, yakiniku tare). 漬けダレ specifically refers to a dipping sauce, often thinner and used for dipping rather than glazing.
つゆ is a thin, broth-like dipping sauce for noodles (soba, udon) or tempura. 漬けダレ is thicker and more strongly flavored, used for meats, dumplings, etc.
Compound of 漬け (tsuke, 'soaking', from 漬ける tsukeru 'to soak/pickle') and タレ (tare, 'sauce'). The kanji 漬け indicates the sauce is for dipping (soaking) food.
