explicitstated

Explicitstated is a neologism used to describe a statement that is presented in a direct and unambiguous way. It functions as a compound form of explicit and stated, intended to stress the clarity of the proposition rather than its content.

The term’s etymology is straightforward: it blends explicit and stated to signal emphasis on explicitness. It appears primarily in informal or online discourse as a descriptor for text where the assertion is declared outright. There is no official coinage record or standardized definition, and explicitstated is not widely recognized in linguistic or editorial authorities.

Usage of explicitstated tends to occur in casual writing, commentary, or discussions about rhetoric and clarity. In formal or academic contexts, however, the conventional phrasing explicitly stated is usually preferred. The single-word form can risk ambiguity, since readers may interpret it as a standard compound adjective rather than a conventional adverbial phrase modifying how something is stated.

Relation to other terms: explicitstated contrasts with implicit or inferred statements and with hedging language. As a coined term, its acceptance depends on readership and context. It illustrates how authors sometimes fuse familiar words to convey emphasis on clarity. Related concepts include explicitly stated, explicit, and the study of implicature in communication.
