The "plode" part means to clap, from Latin, and the ex- part means "out of" so the original meaning was to drive out by clapping, at the theatre (so perhaps clapping had an opposite function to the present!). Implode is a later word which is a "back formation" as im- suggests inwards movement as opposed to ex- which is outwards.
Implode means to collapse inwardly, but explode means blow up, or outwards. Exactly
