  • (n.) The sense given by an expositor.

  • (19) These results strongly suggest that the increased regional cerebral blood flow induced by BY-1949 is explicable, at least partly, in terms of a preferential elevation of cyclic GMP within the cerebral vasculature, where the endothelium plays a pivotal role.
  • (20) It is argued that while the results show the influence of the visual surround on children's comprehension of 'falling over', this may not be wholly explicable in terms of surround contour matching, as conventionally correct judgements were obtained in the absence of all straight line contours in the immediate surround.

Explicit


Definition:

  • (a.) A word formerly used (as finis is now) at the conclusion of a book to indicate the end.
  • (a.) Not implied merely, or conveyed by implication; distinctly stated; plain in language; open to the understanding; clear; not obscure or ambiguous; express; unequivocal; as, an explicit declaration.
