The word "tãcut" in Rom. Lang= silent ( as adjective)
the Verb is " a tace" given by DEX as from Latin "tacere"
the substantive is in Rom. "tãcere"= silence.
Latin tacere has cognates in Germanic "dagen", as. "thagon", Old Irish
"tachtaim", , Greek "teko, tekenai", etc

The root is seen as IE *takei
