Morphology
expose = ex + pos
Although the word historically contains the prefix 'ex-' and a bound root 'pos', an average learner cannot derive this sense from a familiar English base such as 'pose'.
Etymology
Expose comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and ponere 'to place', the same root as position. So to expose something by uncovering it is like 'placing it out' where people can see it.
