unstated

The contract's unstated terms were understood by both parties.

Definition

Adjective: - Not expressed or declared openly; left unsaid: Something that is "unstated" is not put into words or formally expressed, though it may be understood or implied.

Usage
  • Used to describe assumptions, terms, conditions, or reasons that are implicit or understood without being verbally articulated.
  • Often modifies nouns like "assumption," "premise," "term," "agreement," or "reason."
Examples
  • Adjective:
    • The contract relied on an unstated assumption that both parties would act in good faith.
    • Her unstated reason for leaving the meeting early was her discomfort with the discussion.
    • There was an unstated agreement among the team members to avoid that topic.
Advanced Usage
  • "to leave something unstated": To deliberately choose not to express something verbally, often because it is considered obvious or too sensitive.
    • The report left the most controversial conclusions unstated.
  • In logic and argumentation, an unstated premise is a necessary part of an argument that is assumed but not explicitly said.
Variants and Related Words
  • Unspoken (adj): Not expressed in speech; silent. Often used interchangeably with "unstated," but can more strongly imply something communicated without words (e.g., an unspoken understanding).
  • Unexpressed (adj): Not conveyed in words or outward expression.
  • Implicit (adj): Implied though not plainly expressed. This is a close synonym but often carries a stronger sense of being an integral, though unspoken, part of something.
  • Tacit (adj): Understood or implied without being stated. Often used for agreements or consent (e.g., a tacit agreement).
