The silent letter in the word "RENDEZVOUS" is the letter "Z." In French, the word "rendezvous" means a meeting or gathering, and the "Z" is silent in the pronunciation of the word.

Nah, the "z" isn't silent, because the vowel stress doesn't go in the next vowel after the z. If the word was "zdràveite", i.e. if the vowel stress gone into the first "a", then the z had to be silent. But since the word is "zdravèite" and the stress goes into the first e, the z is not silent. So, the word "zdraveite" is properly read as [zdra'vejte].
