Usage:
Explicit,
Express. Explicit denotes a setting
forth in the plainest language, so that the meaning
can not be misunderstood; as, an explicit promise.
Express is stronger than explicit: it adds force to
clearness. An express promise or engagement is not
only unambiguous, but stands out in bold relief, with
the most binding hold on the conscience. An explicit
statement; a clear and explicit notion; explicit
direction; no words can be more explicit. An explicit
command; an express prohibition.
“An express
declaration goes forcibly and directly to the point.
An explicit declaration leaves nothing ambiguous.”
--C. J. Smith.
[1913 Webster]
