explicitera

Explicitera is a verb used in some Nordic languages, notably Swedish, meaning to make explicit or to spell out in detail. The term denotes the act of presenting information, assumptions, or conclusions in a clear and unambiguous way, thereby removing ambiguity and increasing transparency. In practice, explicitera is used in policy documents, legal drafting, and academic writing when authors want to lay bare underlying premises, methods, or limitations.

Explicitera derives from explicit and the Latin explicitus, with the Swedish verb-form suffix -era. It parallels English explication or explicate, but is used primarily in Swedish and related languages. In English-language discourse, explicitera is uncommon; translators typically render it as explicate, explain clearly, or spell out.

In use, explicitera conveys a deliberate act of clarification, often with a focus on underlying structures or assumptions. It can be used with a direct object, such as making explicit the assumptions behind a model or argument.
