The synonyms of the word ''reserved'' are as follows:
Reticent
Archaic
Riveting
We're going to have to pry information out of today's word because it is reticent. RETİCENT means ''disposed to be silent or not to speak freely'' This tight-lipped adjective is more specific than its synonym RESERVED, which is widely used in both speech and actions and implies a guardedness born of caution or a sense of formality. Reticent simply describes people who aren't inclined to chatte. A word to the wise: reticent is used to mean ''reluctant'' with some regularity, but style guides urge against this broad interpretation in favor of the more precise application.
