There's a nice one-word verb meaning "to make explicit". That verb is
"explicate". Unfortunately, I can't use it, because people (including
me) will too often accidentally read it as meaning "to explain".
Is there a word for words that exist but can't be used in practice?

implicated words? :-P
explicar in pt means to explain
explicitar in pt means to explicate
maybe switch to pt to avoid the problem? :-D
or introduce 'to explicitate' in English ;-)
