Etymology
The word expressed comes from the parts ex- meaning 'out' and press meaning 'to press', the same root as the English word press. A helpful image is pressing feelings out, like squeezing a sponge to make the water come out. So when someone 'expresses' an idea or feeling they make it come out as words or actions, and expressed means it was made clear or shown.
