expressionlessly

/ɪksˌpɹɛʃənɫɪsli/ adv

Without expression; in an expressionless way.

Word Origin Expressionlessly is built from expression, which comes from Latin exprimere 'to press out,' from ex- 'out' and premere 'to press.' The idea: an expression is something pressed out, a feeling squeezed into a visible form. The same root premere gives us impress, compress, depress, suppress. Expressionlessly means without any outward pressing of emotion, a blank face.
