Usage Notes

An Explication on the Use of 'Explicit' and 'Implicit'

What to Know

Explicit describes something that is very clear and without vagueness or ambiguity.

Implicit often functions as the opposite, referring to something that is understood,

but not described clearly or directly, and often using implication or assumption.

To help remember, explicit things are explained, implicit things are implied.

Both words share the same Latin root, 'plicare,' meaning "to fold."

Explicit and implicit are distinct adjectives having explicitly different meanings that are occasionally confused with each other, as shown in these examples

Explicit' Meaning

To be explicitly clear, explicit and implicit are different words and, in some contexts, they are truly true antonyms.

Explicit denotes being very clear and complete without vagueness, implication, or ambiguity. When something is said to be explicit, there is no question as to what is being expressed or conveyed—nothing is implied or assumed.

Implicit' Meaning

Implicit, on the other hand, denotes that something is understood although not clearly or directly expressed or conveyed—there is implication, assumption, or question.

It often precedes a preposition, usually in and less frequently from, with, or within.

Other Meanings of 'Explicit' and 'Implicit'

Explicit and implicit also have distinct meanings unconnected to their antonymy.

Explicit is used to describe such thingsas writing, lyrics, photography, or film that express or depict openly offensive or vulgar nudity, violence, or sexuality, or it can indicate an act or behavior that is queasily graphic or leaves nothing to implication or the imagination (e.g., "scenes of explicit violence and drug use").

Another sense of implicit is "not affected by doubt," a meaning shared by words like absolute and complete, as in "implicit confidence," and, in a sense, explicit (which connotes clarity and openness).

Implicit can also describe something that is inherent or inextricably connected with another but not immediately manifest—for example, bugs are "implicit" in new computer applications.

The implicit source of confusion with explicit and implicit is their shared Latin root, plicare, meaning "to fold," which gives them the same anglicized ending "-plicit."

But one simply needs to look to their beginnings, their prefixes—respectively,

ex-, meaning "out," and im-, "in, within"—to decipher their distinct meanings.

Explicit can be interrupted as "to unfold" or "to lay out" (in other words, "to explain") and implicit can be translated as"to fold in," implying covering or containing (meaning) within.

True, the words have the same root and syllable count and are applied in similar contexts, but they are explicitly differentin spelling and meaning.

When in doubt, look to the prefixes: if you are describing something that is clearly explained or expressed, the word to use is explicit; if you are describing something that is implied, implicit is the word.
