Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想 ex-向外=明说，im-向内=暗示，对比 explicit 与 implicit，记住 explicitness 是'明确性'。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：学术写作、法律/合同文本、日常讨论 explicitness 表示“明确、清楚”的状态，通常多用于书面或正式语境，比较常见于学术、法律等强调清晰性的场合；日常口语中使用相对较少，但并非绝对，具体语气需根据上下文选择。
Pronunciation & Spelling
None are perfect rhymes. The -ness words share the final spelling '-ness' and the unstressed /nəs/ but stress an earlier vowel, so they do not rhyme with the target. 'explicit' and 'explicitly' share the stressed syllable /ɪkˈsplɪsɪt/ but end differently; beware their similar spelling and pronunciation.
