Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Latin tacēre, present active infinitive of taceō (for identical phonetic evolution,[1] see Modern French plaisir, loisir, moisir, gésir, and Old French nuisir, luisir). It was eventually displaced by the analogical form taire (see also the similar analogical forms plaire, nuire, luire).

Verb
