Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin word 'tacitus', which is the past participle of 'tacere', meaning 'to be silent'. Entering English in the mid-17th century, it initially retained its exact Latin sense of 'implied or indicated without being openly expressed', evolving to describe agreements or understandings that exist without verbal confirmation.
