expressively

/ɛkˈspɹɛ.sɪv.li/ adv

In an expressive manner.

Word Origin From Latin ex- 'out' and premere 'to press' — literally 'pressing out.' The idea: when you express something, you squeeze it out, make it visible. That's why expressively means doing it with feeling, like pressing emotions into words. The same root gives us impress (press into), depress (press down), and pressure.
