Etymology
Implicitly comes from a Latin idea of being 'folded in', made from in- 'in' and plic 'to fold'. So, to accept or say something implicitly is like having the meaning 'folded into' your words—understood without being said directly, which is the opposite of explicit ('clear and out in the open').
