Communicates thoughts or feelings, or sends something quickly by a fast service like express mail.
From Latin 'exprimere,' from 'ex-' (out) and 'premere' (to press). The idea of 'pressing out' meaning to force out one's thoughts evolved into meaning 'to communicate clearly.'
The word 'express' comes from the literal idea of squeezing something out—when you express juice from a lemon, you're doing the same action as expressing your emotions, just literally!
