VERB (USED WITH OBJECT) [EX·PLI·CAT·ED, EX·PLI·CAT·ING.]
1. to make plain or clear; explain; interpret.
2. to develop (a principle, theory, etc.).
In context, I think he shoulda just used ‘express’.
Thanks. I figured it was something close to that.
I’ve just never seen this form of that verb before.
