implication

noun eem-plee-kah-TSYOH-neh Rare
Communication Language

Origin: Latin implicatio (an interweaving)

Also means

involvement, entanglement

Usage Note

Implicazione can mean a logical implication (le implicazioni di una teoria) or personal involvement/complicity (la sua implicazione nello scandalo). The plural implicazioni is common in political and analytical discourse. Unlike English 'implication', it does not usually mean a subtle hint or suggestion — use allusione or sottinteso for that.

Examples

"Le implicazioni di questa decisione sono ancora incerte."

Natural Translation

The implications of this decision are still uncertain.
