Explicit (from Latin explicare, "to unfold" and thus also make visible) can mean:

  • Sexually explicit, content that might be deemed offensive or graphic
  • the final words of a text, which are immediately followed by a colophon (publishing)
  • Explicit method call, a method (computer programming) call which requires the object to be of a specific class
  • Implicit method, approach used in numerical analysis for obtaining numerical solutions of time-dependent ordinary and partial differential equations
  • Explicit memory is content of a person's mind that they can access consciously (e.g. the name of the capital of France). Some content or memories may instead be implicit, or 'unconscious' (e.g. the memories of how exactly to ride a bike - because people may not realize they perform certain actions when they ride their bike).
