explicit
Loading your saved state.
explicit
Expressed or established in a very clear, unambiguous, and definite way. It leaves no room for doubt.

The word derives from 'Ausdruck' (expression), which is connected to 'ausdrücken' (to express). Something that is 'ausdrücklich' (explicit) has therefore been clearly and plainly 'ausgedrückt' (expressed) or formulated.
Das war sein ausdrücklicher Wunsch.
That was his explicit wish.
'Ausdrücklich' (explicitly) is often used with verbs of communication or command to emphasize their clarity, e.g. 'ausdrücklich sagen' (to say explicitly), 'ausdrücklich bitten' (to explicitly ask), 'ausdrücklich erlauben' (to explicitly allow), or 'ausdrücklich verbieten' (to explicitly forbid).
Ich habe dich ausdrücklich darum gebeten, das nicht zu tun.
I explicitly asked you not to do that.
As an adverb, 'ausdrücklich' (explicitly) emphasizes the action of the verb. It often stands directly before the part of the sentence that is meant to be emphasized, or near the verb.
In der E-Mail stand ausdrücklich, dass wir bis 10 Uhr warten sollen.
The email explicitly said that we should wait until 10 o'clock.
clear / clearly
Deutlich and ausdrücklich both make a statement clear and understandable. Deutlich describes mainly how well something can be heard, read, or understood; ausdrücklich shows that something was stated or established directly. Use deutlich for the way information is communicated and ausdrücklich for a clear instruction or rule.
Der Trainer sagte ausdrücklich, dass heute niemand zu spät kommen darf.
The coach explicitly said that no one was allowed to be late today.
Die Rednerin sprach deutlich, damit auch die Gäste hinten jedes Wort hörten.
The speaker spoke clearly so that even the guests at the back could hear every word.
