siʹlentness noun

Synonyms: silent, reticent, reserved, taciturn, secretive, uncommunicative, tightlipped. These adjectives describe people who are sparing with speech. Silent often implies a habitual disinclination to speak or to speak out: "the great silent majority" (Richard M. Nixon). The term may also mean refraining from speech, as out of fear or confusion: "He must be warned prior to any questioning that he has the right to remain silent" (Earl Warren). Reticent suggests a tendency to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself: "She had been shy and reticent with me, and now . . . she was telling me aloud the secrets of her inmost heart" (W.H. Hudson). Reserved suggests aloofness and reticence: "a reserved man, whose inner life was intense and sufficient to him" (Arnold Bennett). Taciturn implies unsociableness and a tendency to speak only when it is absolutely necessary: "At the Council board he was taciturn; and in the House of Lords he never opened his lips" (Macaulay). Secretive implies a lack of openness about or even concealment of matters that could in all conscience be discussed: too secretive to disclose her vacation plans. Uncommunicative suggests a disposition to withhold opinions, feelings, or knowledge from others: Her uncle was a silent, uncommunicative Yankee farmer. Tightlipped strongly implies a steadfast unwillingness to divulge information being sought: The general remained tightlipped when reporters asked him about the rumored invasion.
