the thing you said without saying it, then denied saying at all
means A meaning suggested or hinted at without being stated outright, or the act of being involved or entangled in something.
from From Latin 'implicare,' to entangle or interweave — from 'in-' (in) plus 'plicare' (to fold), the same 'plicare' that folds into 'plait,' 'ply,' and 'complicated.' An implication is literally something folded inward, a meaning tucked into the creases of a sentence rather than laid flat on the table.
