Morphology
The compound is transparently compositional: 'gene' (a DNA segment) combined with 'expression' (the process of producing a gene's product) yields the straightforward meaning 'the expression of a gene'. This noun+noun technical phrase follows regular semantic composition and has clear cross‑linguistic equivalents (e.g. expresión génica, expression génique), so a learner who knows the constituent senses will understand it.
Etymology
Gene expression comes from thinking of a gene as a small instruction and expression as 'showing' or 'speaking' that instruction. So when a gene 'shows' itself by 'making a protein', scientists call that 'gene expression', meaning the process of a gene producing its product.
