Note: reticente (use)

reticente

Wikilengua

La palabra reticente, cuando se aplica a personas, hace referencia a aquel que emplea reticencias, que da sólo información sesgada o da a entender, de forma clara y generalmente con malicia, que se oculta o se calla algo que pudiera o debiera decirse.

Otra de sus acepciones es la de ‘reservado, receloso o desconfiado’.

Sabiendo que le estaba observando, me dirigió una mirada larga y reticente.

Si se aplica a la manera de hablar o a las expresiones, significa ‘que contiene reticencia’.

A menudo se utiliza la palabra reticente cuando debería emplearse la palabra reacio, que significa, según el DRAE ‘contrario a algo, o que muestra resistencia a hacer algo’.

* Aunque reticente al principio a aceptar el papel del azar y de la selección natural, pasó a admitir más adelante varios supuestos de la teoría sintética y nociones procedentes del neodarwinismo. (Arsuaga, Juan Luis [España, 2001])

Como se puede observar, el uso de la palabra reticente con el significado de reacio, renuente o remiso es considerado incorrecto tanto por el diccionario CLAVE, como por el Vademécum de la Fundéu.
