Word Origin
The word 'tacit' originates from the Latin word 'tacitus', which is the past participle of 'tacere', meaning 'to be silent'.
Words with similar origins include 'taciturn', also from Latin 'taciturnus' (inclined to silence), and 'reticent', from Latin 'reticens', present participle of 'reticere' (to keep silent), which is formed from 're-' (back, again) + 'tacere'.
