expressions
- 1Plural of expression.
The actor practiced a range of facial expressions in the mirror.
Old letters are full of polite expressions that feel formal today.
Note
A regular plural that serves every meaning of expression alike: faces, phrases and formulas all simply add -s. It reads most naturally where the singular names something countable, such as a range of facial expressions, a letter's polite expressions, or the expressions on a page of algebra. Where expression means the act of expressing, the singular usually stays put: freedom of expression, not of expressions.
