Definition
Plural of expanse; large areas or stretches of something, like land, sky, or water.
Etymology
From Latin 'expandere' (to spread out) + '-anse' (noun-forming suffix). The plural form of expanse, a more poetic/literary term for large open areas.
Kelly Says
Expanse is the poetic choice—'vast expanses of desert' sounds grander than 'large areas of desert,' which is why poets and travel writers prefer it.
