Anything explicit is very clear, whether it's instructions or a dirty movie. Thanks to parental-advisory warnings about "explicit language" or "explicit violence," you might think this word only applies to things that are dirty, naughty, or adult in some way. That is a common meaning of explicit, but it's not the only meaning. This also means anything that is clear and easy to understand. Explicit orders are easy to carry out; explicit instructions are easy to follow. When someone is explicit, they're not beating around the bush or being confusing. All forms of 'explicit' will appear on average once every 723 pages. explicit explicitly explicitness inexplicit inexplicitness |
