Definition of explicitness

explicitnessnoun

sự rõ ràng

/ɪkˈsplɪsɪtnəs//ɪkˈsplɪsɪtnəs/

The word "explicitness" has its roots in Latin. The adjective "explicare" means "to lay bare" or "to make clear", and is derived from "ex" (meaning "out" or "forth") and "pli" (meaning "fold" or " conceal"). The Latin term "explicare" was used to describe the act of unfolding or revealing what was previously hidden or unclear. From Latin, the word "explicitness" entered English in the 15th century, initially used to describe the act of making something clear or plain. Over time, the term took on a more nuanced meaning, referring to the quality of being clear, direct, and unambiguous in expression or communication. Today, "explicitness" is often used in contexts such as art, literature, and sexuality to describe the degree to which something is graphic, detailed, or unambiguous.
