Hold your Peace
What it means
Say nothing, either now or from here on, about something you object to.
Where it comes from
Best known from the marriage service, where objections must be raised or the peace held forever. Peace here means silence, an older sense of the word that survives almost nowhere else.
The puzzle it came from
Hold your Peace was the answer to the Phrasicle of December 20, 2025. The clue read ____ your ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
