1

clear, detailed, and direct

Said or written in a very clear, direct way, so people cannot easily misunderstand it.

الگوی کاربرد: be explicit about [something]; an explicit [statement/instruction/requirement]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse “explicit” with “implicit.” “Explicit” means something is clearly said or written; “implicit” means it is only suggested or understood. Another common mistake is using “very clear” instead of “explicit” in formal writing; in many formal contexts, “explicit” is more natural and precise.
هم‌معنی‌ها
clear (More general and common; does not always suggest the strong, detailed directness that “explicit” has.) | unambiguous (Emphasizes that only one meaning is possible; slightly more technical or formal than “explicit.”) | direct (Focuses on straightforward manner of expression, sometimes with a social or emotional tone rather than detail.)
متضادها
implicit (Means that something is suggested or understood without being directly stated.) | vague (Emphasizes lack of clarity or detail, where “explicit” emphasizes strong clarity and detail.) | ambiguous (Means that something can have more than one meaning, the opposite of the single, clear meaning of “explicit.”)

adjective B2 property
2

showing sex or violence clearly

Showing sex or strong violence in a very clear, direct way in a book, movie, song, or picture, so it is not suitable for children.

الگوی کاربرد: explicit [content/lyrics/images/scenes]; sexually explicit [material/photos/videos]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think “explicit” in this sense only means “clear.” But when used about movies, songs, or images, it usually means there is clear sex, nudity, strong language, or strong violence, not just that the story is easy to understand.
هم‌معنی‌ها
graphic (Often suggests shocking or very detailed descriptions or images of sex or violence; slightly more emotional in tone.) | pornographic (Refers specifically to sexual material intended to cause sexual excitement; narrower and stronger than “explicit.”)
متضادها
clean (Informally describes media without offensive language, sex, or strong violence.) | censored (Describes material that has had explicit parts removed or hidden.)

adjective technical C1 property
3

fully and directly specified (technical)

Given in a complete and direct way in a formula, rule, or program, so you do not need extra steps to find it.

الگوی کاربرد: an explicit [formula/function/definition/statement/type]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may not realize that in technical writing “explicit” has a very specific contrast with “implicit,” especially in mathematics and computing. It does not refer to sex or violence in this context.
هم‌معنی‌ها
direct (In technical fields, often used similarly, but may not always emphasize that all details are fully written out.) | fully specified (Longer technical phrase highlighting that all necessary details are present.)
متضادها
implicit (In technical use, means something is given indirectly or defined in terms of a condition or relationship, not written out directly.) | implicit function (Specific mathematical opposite of an explicit function; defined by an equation instead of y = f(x).)
