Derived from the Latin 'implicitus', past participle of 'implicare', meaning 'to entangle, involve, or wrap in'. Entering Middle English in the late 15th century via French, it originally denoted something entangled or closely connected, later shifting semantically to mean implied or understood though not directly expressed.
