implicare
imply
verb eem-plee-KAH-reh Less Common
Origin: from Latin implicare (to entangle)
Also means
involve
Usage Note
Implicare means both to imply a consequence and to involve someone, as in essere implicato in uno scandalo (to be implicated in a scandal). The 'c' stays hard throughout, so the io form is implico.
