silencio
/siˈlenθjo/ · A2 · noun · m
silence
🤫 silencio = silence with an -io ending; from Latin silentium
Latin silentium (being quiet) gave English silence and Spanish silencio. Swap English -ce for Spanish -cio, as in palacio/palace and servicio/service. In music, a silencio is a rest: the beat where nothing sounds.
