Taciturn \Tac"i*turn\, a. [L. taciturnus: cf. F. taciturne. See

Habitually silent; not given to converse; not apt to talk or
speak. -- {Tac"i*turn*ly}, adv.

Syn: Silent; reserved.

Usage: {Taciturn}, {Silent}. Silent has reference to the act;

loquacious man is at times silent; one who is taciturn
may now and then make an effort at conversation.
