First attested in the 15ᵗʰ century, in Middle English; inherited from Middle English implicaten (poorly attested), from implicat(e) (“wrapped, entwined; incolved, connected (with)”, possibly also used as the past participle of implicaten) + -en (verb-forming suffix), borrowed from Latin implicātus, perfect passive participle of implicō (“entangle, involve”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from plicō (“fold”). Doublet of imply and employ.
