Exposture

/ɪkˈspoʊʒər/ noun

Definition

An archaic or technical term for the act of exposing something, revealing it to view or danger.

Etymology

From expose + -ure (suffix forming nouns indicating action or state). The noun form of the verb expose, less common than 'exposure' in modern English.

Kelly Says

Exposture is an older variant of 'exposure'—language is constantly evolving, and we've largely abandoned -ure endings in favor of -ure nouns like exposure. But exposture still appears in specialized legal or technical documents.
