Eksplicit

Eksplicit is an Indonesian term used as an adjective meaning explicit, i.e., clearly stated or defined, leaving little or no room for interpretation. It is commonly applied to information, content, or statements that are expressed directly rather than implied.

The word is a borrowing from English explicit and appears in several Indonesian spellings. The most common formal form in contemporary Indonesian is eksplisit (or eksplisit), with variations such as eksplicit existing in some texts or contexts. The choice of spelling can reflect differences in style guides or publishing practices, but the meaning remains the same: something that is stated outright and transparently.

In usage, eksplicit is found across a range of domains. In linguistics and philosophy, explicit information is distinguished from implicit information—the latter being suggested or inferred rather than directly stated. In media and content classification, konten eksplicit refers to material with clearly stated mature or graphic elements, such as explicit language or sexual content. In law and contracts, explicit terms specify rights and obligations in precise language to minimize ambiguity.

Examples:

- Pernyataan itu eksplicit menyatakan tujuan kebijakan.

- Konten eksplicit dibatasi untuk pemirsa dewasa.
