Italian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Latin implicāre. Doublet of impiegare, an inherited term.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /im.pliˈka.re/
  • Rhymes: -are
  • Hyphenation: im‧pli‧cà‧re

Verb[edit]

implicàre (first-person singular present ìmplico, first-person singular past historic implicài, past participle implicàto, auxiliary avére) (transitive)

  1. to imply, entail
    Synonym: comportare
  2. to involve, implicate
    Synonym: coinvolgere
  3. (literary) to tangle up, to entangle

Usage notes[edit]

  • Treccani and Hoepli mark the variant pronunciation io implìco as poetic. The traditional-minded Dizionario di Ortografia e Pronuncia lists the variant pronunciation as a possible poetic usage, particularly in the meaning "to entangle". The modern-minded Canepari (Dizionario di Pronuncia Italiana) lists the variant pronunciation as less-preferred and aulica (archaic or literary).
