Explanatory factors, variables, or elements; things that provide explanation.
From Latin explicantia (explaining things), plural neuter of explicans, used in scientific and philosophical discourse.
This is the most technical term in this group—scientists use explicantia to refer to all the factors that explain a phenomenon, like how gravity and friction are explicantia for why a ball falls.
