  1. (archaic) Silence.
    • 1881, Mrs. C. D. Field, Recent Gems of Poetry for Public Readings and Recitations, page 109:
      Bright in starlight and moonlight, / Fanned by the river breeze, / The silency of the jungle dark / Just broken by sudden hoot or bark, / And with hesh of the waving trees.
