implyv.

Brit.

/ɪmˈplʌɪ/, U.S.

/ᵻmˈplaɪ/

Forms: α. Middle English enpliȝe, 1500s emplie, emplye. β. Middle English inpliȝe, Middle English ymplie, Middle English–1600s implie, implye, 1500s– imply. γ. 1500s–1600s imploy, 1500s employ: see employ v. II.

Etymology: < Old French emplie-r < Latin implicāre to infold, involve, < im- (im- prefix¹) + plicāre to fold; with subsequent substitution of the Latin form of the prefix. The Old French verb was originally inflected, according to position of the stress: infinitive empliˈer , present indicative emˈpleie , emˈpleies , emˈpleiet , empliˈons , empliˈez , emˈpleient , imperative emˈpleie , empliˈez ; whence, by levelling, arose the two variant forms (1) emplier , and (2) empleier , later emploier , employer . Of these, modern French retains only the latter, while English has imply from Old French, and employ v. from later 15th cent. French. Imply retained the classical Latin sense of implicare , from which sense 2 appears to be a strictly English development; but instances of exchange between imply and employ are not infrequent in 16–17th cent. (See sense 4 below, and employ v. II.)

†1. transitive. To enfold, enwrap, entangle, involve: in literal and figurative senses. Obsolete.
