'implicitly-stated' originates from the combination of 'implicit' and 'stated'. 'Implicit' comes from Latin 'implicitus', meaning 'entangled', and 'stated' from Latin 'status', meaning 'position'.

'Implicit' evolved from the Latin 'implicitus' through Old French 'implicite', and 'stated' from Latin 'status' through Old French 'estat'.

Initially, 'implicit' meant 'entangled' or 'involved', and 'stated' meant 'position'. Over time, 'implicitly-stated' evolved to mean 'expressed indirectly'.
