Not implied merely, or conveyed by implication; distinctly stated; plain in language; open to the understanding; clear; not obscure or ambiguous; express; unequivocal; as, an explicit declaration. Opposite of {implicit}. [1913 Webster] The language of the charter was too explicit to admit of a doubt. --Bancroft. [1913 Webster] 2.

See under {Function}. Syn: Express; clear; plain; open; unreserved; unambiguous. Usage: {Explicit}, {Express}. Explicit denotes a setting forth in the plainest language, so that the meaning can not be misunderstood; as, an explicit promise. Express is stronger than explicit: it adds force to clearness.
