Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin expressivus, from expressus (past participle of exprimere, meaning 'to press out' or 'to portray'). It entered Middle French and subsequently the English lexicon in the early 17th century, shifting in meaning from denoting clear representation to signifying the effective conveying of feeling or emotion.
