was typing and typed "imply" and then thought would be good if this thing I was typing about eventually didn't just imply something but...
that's right - what is the explicit version of "imply"? googled this conundrum and found people following the same "logic" and coming to the same "conclusion"
maybe it is time for: EXPLY

explicate has implicate. why must imply be so lonely?
