esplicite

Esplicite is the feminine plural form of the Italian adjective esplicito. It agrees with feminine plural nouns and denotes something that is explicit, clearly stated, or unambiguous, as in informazioni esplicite or idee esplicite. The word is commonly used in formal writing—legal, academic, or journalistic contexts—to distinguish content that is stated outright from content that is implied.

Etymology and form: Esplicite derives from Latin explicitus, related to explicare “to unfold, to explain.” In Italian noun-adjective agreement, the masculine singular is esplicito, the feminine singular esplicita, the masculine plural espliciti, and the feminine plural esplicite. The counterpart for implicit is implicito, with its own feminine/plural forms (implicita, impliciti, implicite).

Usage notes: Esplicite functions strictly as an adjective and is not typically used as a stand-alone noun. It frequently appears in phrases describing information, statements, or content that is deliberately stated rather than inferred. The adverbial form is esplicitamente.

See also: esplicito, esplicita, implicito, implicite, esplicitare.

In sum, esplicite is a standard grammatical form in Italian for describing explicitly stated elements, serving as the feminine plural parallel to espliciti and alongside its implicit counterparts. It reflects the language’s precision in distinguishing explicit from implicit content in formal discourse.
