Crossword Genius

Confine is quiet! (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shut up

I believe this is a double definition.

'confine' is the first definition.
(shutting up is a kind of confining)

'quiet' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for shut up that I've seen before include "Imprisoned" , "Closely confined" , "in prison" , "Keep mum" , "Close your mouth!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
