 Ex·pli·cit  A word formerly used (as finis is now) at the conclusion of a book to indicate the end.

 Ex·plic·it a.
 1. 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.
    The language of the charter was too explicit to admit of a doubt.   --Bancroft.
 2. Having no disguised meaning or reservation; unreserved; outspoken; -- applied to persons; as, he was earnest and explicit in his statement.
 Explicit function. Math. 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. An express promise or engagement is not only unambiguous, but stands out in bold relief, with the most binding hold on the conscience. An explicit statement; a clear and explicit notion; explicit direction; no words can be more explicit. An explicit command; an express prohibition. “An express declaration goes forcibly and directly to the point. An explicit declaration leaves nothing ambiguous.”  --C. J. Smith.
