What does explicitly mean?

Explanation:        Explicit means stated clearly or made clear. Explicit is also used to refer to language that is offensive or vulgar. Implicit means implied, but not stated clearly.  

Explicit denotes a setting forth in the plainest language so that the meaning can not be misunderstood; as, an explicit promise. Express is stronger than explicit: it adds force to clearness.
