Not expressed aloud, but understood (5)

I believe the answer is:

tacit

(Other definitions for tacit that I've seen before include "Not said though understood" , "Understood, not spoken or played" , "Implied or understood, not put into words" , "Implied -- inferred" , "without speaking" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
