Morphology
implicit = imply (transparent) = im + plic
This sense ('suggested or understood without being directly stated') aligns closely with the meaning of 'imply'/'implied', so learners who know 'imply' can readily infer the adjective's meaning.
Etymology
The word implicit comes from the Latin parts in- 'in' and plicare 'to fold'. So an implicit idea is like something 'folded into' what you know and not directly said, which is why an implicit threat or term is only suggested, not spoken out loud.
