A class that implements an interface can explicitly implement a member of that interface. When a member is explicitly implemented, it cannot be accessed through a class instance, but only through an instance of the interface

When class implement interface, user mandatory needs to specify interface method body. Such implementation is called as Exlicit
implementation. All the signature of interface API must be compatible with interface API. Dervice class can also define their
own API.

interface I1
{
     void someMethod();
}
Interface I1
{
    void someMethod();
}
 
class someClass:I1,I2
{
  void I1.someMethod()
  {
       //This is called explicit implementation as  i am telling the compiler to implement someMethod of interface I1
  }
  void I2.someMethod()
  {
       //This is called explicit implementation of someMethod of I2 interface
  }
}

If we have a class inherits from interface, we need to implements the members of that
interface. It is possibe with explicitly or implicitly way.
 
In Explicit way,  through the interface we can access to that member.

For example:

interface IDrivable
{
    void Start();
}

class Car : IDrivable
{
    void IDrivable.Start()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("IDrivable.Start");
    }
}

Car car1 = new Car();
IDrivable iDrivable1 = (IDrivable)car1;
iDrivable1.Start();

Using explicitly interface is necessary when one class implement multiple interfaces with conflicting member definitions.
