What does TACET mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A direction in a musical score instructing a singer or instrumentalist to remain silent for an entire movement or a marked passage.
A conductor or composer writes tacet above a performer's part rather than leaving the staff blank, so the musician knows at a glance to rest without counting empty bars. The term comes from Latin, where it literally means it is silent, and it appears most often in orchestral or choral scores where one instrument sits out a whole movement. Seeing tacet tells a player they can leave the stage or simply wait, instead of following along with rests measure by measure.
