Usage Note
Implícitamente means 'by implication, without being stated directly'. Its antonym is explícitamente. It is a formal, written-register adverb common in legal, academic, and philosophical texts. Note that implícito is an esdrújula (stress on the antepenultimate syllable), so when -mente is added the original stress on PLEE is preserved alongside the suffix stress on MEN.
Examples
"El acuerdo implícitamente reconoce el error."
Natural Translation
