σιωπάω (siōpáōsee-o-pah'-overbto be silent)

Derivation: from σιωπή (silence, i.e. a hush;
Strong's: properly, muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak; and thus differing from σιγή, which is rather a voluntary refusal or indisposition to speak, although the terms are often used synonymously); to be dumb (but not deaf also, like 2974 properly); figuratively, to be calm (as quiet water)
KJV: --dumb, (hold) peace.
