[Verb] | "im*ply" | \ im-ˈplī \
1: to express indirectly
2: to involve or indicate by inference, association, or necessary consequence rather than by direct statement
3: to contain potentially
Origin: 14th century ;
Middle English implien, emplien "to enfold, surround, entangle, involve by inference, contain implicitly," borrowed from Anglo-French emplier, implier "to involve by inference, entail," probably adaptation of emplier (variant of empleier, emploier "to entangle, put to use, {see: |employ:1|employ:1}") as a vernacular equivalent of Medieval Latin implicāre "to imply, mean by implication," modeled on parallel verbs in Middle English, as applien "to {see: |apply|apply}," replien "to {see: |reply:1|reply:1}" and their correspondents in Anglo-French {mat|implicate|implicate};
* Note : The genesis of this verb is idiosyncratic, as it has no correspondent in continental French, and even the Anglo-French examples are—to judge by citations in the Anglo-Norman Dictionary—later than the Middle English examples, which are not much earlier than the fifteenth century. Middle French has impliquer as an adaptation of Latin implicāre, but this method of creating vernacular forms of verbs in -plicāre, though common in French, gained little traction in English. Note late and rare Middle English appliquen "to apply" (from Anglo-French and Middle French appliquer), for which the Oxford English Dictionary has no evidence past the sixteenth century.;
