inexplicit
(once / 231752 pages)
adj

If something's inexplicit, it's not clearly stated — it's vague or ambiguous. If a book's themes and plot are inexplicit, many of its readers will miss them completely and end up confused.
An explicit explanation is clear as day, its details leaving no room for misunderstanding. When things, conversely, are inexplicit, they aren't clear or definite. After making an inexplicit agreement, people may have different ideas of what they've agreed to. This adjective adds the "not" prefix in- to explicit, from the Latin explicitus, "unobstructed," and its root explicare, "unfold, unravel, or explain."
WORD FAMILY
inexplicit: inexplicitly, inexplicitness+/explicit: explicitly, explicitness, inexplicit
