Mr. Darcy
John, I actually learned the word from watching Angel. Who says TV isn't educational? :)
The word itself comes from latin..."Tacite" if I am remembering correctly. It means "silent" in that form. (Just so ya know.)
I always thought both words have a negative and positive connotation, depending on how you use them. :-)
Really? I always thought taciturn was a noble trait and reticent was refusing to reveal import information.
Like reticent, but in a bad way. :-P
habitually silent; not inclined to talk
"Buffy, I too know the love of a taciturn man" - Willow Rosenberg, BTVS, "Enemies"
