What does explicit mean

information that is inferred
information that is stated directly

The word "explicit" has two distinct meanings:

1. Information that is stated directly: When something is explicit, it means that it is clearly and specifically stated or expressed. It leaves no room for confusion or ambiguity. For example, explicit instructions would provide clear and detailed steps to follow.

2. Information that is inferred: However, "explicit" can also refer to information that is graphic or detailed in a way that is sexually suggestive or contains explicit content. This usage is typically associated with movies, music, or literature and is intended for adult audiences due to its explicit nature.
