explicitly

/ɪksˈpɫɪsətɫi/ adv

In an explicit manner.

Word Origin Explicitly traces back to Latin explicitus, 'unfolded, open' — from ex- 'out' and plicare 'to fold.' So when you're explicit, you unfold your meaning completely, nothing hidden. The same plicare root gives us complicate (fold together), duplicate (fold twice), and implicate (fold in).
