I believe the context is exactly where the word 'quiesce' fits. In my
case, neither acquiesce nor quiesce are especially common words in my
usage vocabulary, but acquiesce would be more familiar, so I would be
likely to make the same unconscious substitution, giving a slightly
inappropriate, slightly humorous malapropism.
