A system or service of rapid transportation or delivery of goods, especially in historical context.
From 'express' plus the suffix '-age' (denoting a system, service, or condition). Popular in 19th-century America for shipping.
Before FedEx and UPS, 'expressage' companies were the high-tech solution to getting goods across growing nations quickly. Many express delivery companies in the 1800s failed because they couldn't compete with railroads.
