Etymology

The word 'implicate' comes from the Latin word 'implicatus', which means 'entwined' or 'entangled'. It has been used in English since the 16th century. The original sense was more literal, referring to being physically involved or entangled in something. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the idea of being involved or connected in a broader sense, such as being implicated in a crime or situation.
