expressions
Looks conveying emotion
Expressions are outward manifestations of inner states.
A facial expression reveals emotion—joy, disgust, surprise.
An expression is also a word or phrase: That's an odd expression.
In mathematics, an expression is a combination of symbols representing a value.
To express is to convey meaning outward, and expressions are what results.
Her expression said everything her words didn't.
