English term or phrase: explicated
It is a subject explicated in chilling detail by Squandered ...
I know that yourdictionary.com has this term
However, to me, it sounds like a "faux ami" and the term should be explained
or was the author simply trying to sound highbrow?

other than : expliquer
what can I use? if I want to sound as highbrow as the original text?
